Good Space is about growing volunteer opportunities with a focus on championing the positive impact of volunteering on mental health and wellbeing.

Founding partners Brighton Dome and Brighton Festival, the Sussex Archaeological Society and Heads On (NHS Mental Health Charity) have developed a Sussexwide volunteering hub that will connect potential volunteers with opportunities provided by art, heritage and sports organisations.

We believe volunteering can be transformational for individuals and organisations. It enables people to connect with others, find purpose and wellbeing, and build skills and experience.

We want people of all ages, backgrounds and abilities to enjoy the benefits of volunteering, and we aim to tackle some of the barriers that might have traditionally prevented people from participating.
