Shekinah offer rewarding volunteer opportunities through our Learning Exchange programme, designed to encourage personal growth and skill sharing. These include Tai Chi, which promotes balance and relaxation, acupuncture, which can help alleviate stress and improve energy flow, yoga and art therapies to encourage mindfulness and creative expression. Volunteers can contribute their time to various community initiatives, such as tutoring, mentoring, or leading workshops in areas like wellbeing, music, philosophy, creative arts and nature. In return, participants gain valuable experience, build new skills, and connect with a diverse group of individuals, making a meaningful impact in the community while expanding their own knowledge. Whether you are looking to give back or learn something new, volunteering at Endeavour House provides a unique and enriching opportunity.

The Devon Mental Health Alliance (DMHA) has been commissioned as part of the Community Mental Health Framework (CMHF) programme to increase capacity for one-one and groups interventions and promote better system integration between community and statutory organisations.

DMHA is a partnership between six community organisations dedicated to providing support, information, and advice for people in Devon experiencing mental health problems. DMHA is working across four ‘footprints’ to reach every community in Devon.  Each area has its own dedicated Community Mental Health Development Lead and a team of Recovery Practitioners led by a Locality Manager.  Shekinah is the Community organisation which covers Torbay and South Devon, in which Bernie is the Community Development Lead (CDL).

Recovery Practitioners (RP) work Monday – Friday and hold a case load, they deliver Psychologically informed interventions through one to one and group work.  They work very closely with the CDL who has their finger on the pulse of all evolving offers in the community.
