Marketing Volunteering Opportunities

At Lancashire Mind, the marketing department is at the heart of our organisation, working with every team to share our vital services, values, and goals. We're much more than Facebook posts and flyers; we're about changing lives. 

Here’s a glimpse into what we do:

"The role of marketing, to me, is about crafting compelling narratives that resonate with our community, both online and across Lancashire. We’re the storytellers raising awareness of mental health, whether it's sharing a heartfelt blog or impactful newsletter, we ensure the message of 'better mental health for all' reaches far and wide.

If you’ve scrolled through Lancashire Mind's social media channels, you’ve already met our superheroes. From our dedicated staff, wellbeing advocates, community partners, fundraisers, and the amazing people who share their journey. Our mission? To break the stigma and allow mental health conversations to thrive. Because here, marketing isn’t about selling - it’s about saving lives.

Every campaign, every post, every design, has the potential to touch someone’s life and guide them toward better mental health and wellbeing." 

Lauren McAteer, Marketing Lead at Lancashire Mind.
