Tandem

  • Recruiting Volunteers

About Tandem

An independent charity offering befriending partnerships to people recovering from a period of mental ill-health in Oxford City. We support about 20 partnerships each year, and run a weekly social group. Our aim is to support people while they regain confidence and start to pick up the social networks and activities they previously engaged in.

The Michael Young Building, Restore, Manzil Way, Cowley Road, Oxon, OX4 1YH

Service Eligibility

Tandem is primarily for residents of Oxford city, but we are able from time to time to cover referrals from neighbouring villages (e,.g. Kennington, Kidlington etc.).   Our service is for adults from 18 upwards.  If you have a significant alcohol or drug addiction we may ask you to tackle that first, so that we can offer a more effective pathway to recovery.  You can be referred by any GP, mental health professional or voluntary agency, but because we are a small charity with limited resources it may take a little while to find a suitable volunteer to match with you.   We do have a weekly Social Group which might be useful as support while you wait for a partnership.
