A mental health charity has appealed for more volunteers for its support line as demand remains high post-lockdowns – with an increase in calls from people affected by the cost-of-living crisis.

Aware, a charity supporting people affected by depression and bipolar disorder, is looking for volunteers aged 21 and over to work remotely from their home or at Aware’s headquarters on Leeson Street in Dublin.
