Lend a hand
LOV Wellbeing runs on people who show up. There is nobody on a salary here, so the events, the letters and the groups all happen because someone gave their time to them. If you would like to be one of those people, this is where to say so.
What volunteering actually looks like
At the events
Our Be Yourself gatherings in Marbella. Welcoming people at the door, helping set the room up and put it back afterwards, and keeping an eye out for anyone who came on their own. Most people arrive at their first event nervous, and the person who notices them is often the reason they come back. No experience needed, and you are never left to work out what to do by yourself.
Words, translation, photo and video
Writing for the letters and the site, and above all translating between English and Spanish, because half of this community reads in the other language from whatever we have just published. Also photographs and video at events, where consent is handled carefully and nobody is ever photographed who did not ask to be.
Wherever you are needed
Carrying chairs, answering emails, keeping the membership list straight, helping with grant paperwork in Spanish. The unglamorous things that quietly decide whether an association lasts. Tell us what you are good at and we will find where it fits.
What we ask, and what we do not
- You are 18 or over.
- You speak English or Spanish. Both is a gift, one is plenty.
- What you hear here stays with you. This is the one thing we are strict about.
- You can give whatever time you have. One event is welcome.
- You do not need a qualification or any background in this work.
- You do not need to be a member, and there is no fee to volunteer.
One thing said plainly: volunteers are not therapists, and LOV Wellbeing does not provide therapy. We hold space, we listen, and we walk alongside people. When someone needs more than that, we help them find it rather than trying to be it. You will never be asked to carry something you are not trained for.
Tell us about yourself
We read every one of these ourselves and we write back. If you would rather just talk first, hello@lovwellbeing.com reaches the same people.
