<p>OCD Action relies on the dedication of volunteers to make sure that we are there to help people in need and that our message can get out.</p>
<p>Most of our volunteering opportunities are open to people throughout the country. All we ask for is your commitment, enthusiasm and expertise. And in return, we will give you the training, materials and support that you may need.</p>
<p>We are now recruiting for new volunteers to help with:</p>
<h4>Media</h4>
<p>Sharing your personal story to help inspire others. By working with us, you can help OCD Action reach hundreds of thousands of people, via the national &amp; local media.</p>
<h4>Help &amp; information line</h4>
<p>Providing support and information to people over the phone. The help and information line is one of OCD Action’s key services. Volunteers receive intensive training and supervision. And while the work can be challenging, it is always rewarding. (At present this is only available at our office in London)</p>
<h4>Fundraising</h4>
<p>Do you have any great fundraising ideas? OCD Action can work with you to help raise much needed income whether it is sitting in a bath of baked beans or running the marathon!</p>
<h4>Support groups</h4>
<p>Setting up and running a local support group can be an excellent way to help provide support to others. If you are interested in setting up a local group. we can help.</p>
<h4>Awareness Champions</h4>
<p>Can you help us raise awareness of OCD by  getting our materials out there into hospitals, GP surgeries, schools &#8211; anywhere they may be needed? Or do you think that you would be able to talk to groups, especially local organisations, universities and secondary schools?</p>
<p>If you are interested in any of the above and would like to find out more, please <a href="../about-us/contact-us/">contact us</a>.</p>
