Our community outreach covers many areas. Our outreach team visit:
- Schools
- Colleges
- Youth centres
- Detox centres
- Rehabilitation centres
The aim is to educate and enlighten through lived experience regarding taking the wrong direction in life and the perils of not addressing addiction issues. We offer a solution of hope.
Our team also walk the local streets with other local partnerships talking to Youths offering alternatives to antisocial activities.
Steven who has volunteered on our outreach team said, “Since volunteering my confidence has grown massively”.
This is the beautiful thing about our outreach program it gives guys with learned experience the chance to pass on the lessons they have learned and to give them a new sense of purpose.
Outreach Leader Lee said “I love the outreach work in the community. My life experience and history of drugs, mental health and trauma has not been wasted. I can pass on my experiences to young people and those struggling”.
Outreach volunteer David said, “Its good when we visit the schools and colleges, it’s good for the kids to know the dangers of drugs and peer pressure while they are at an impressionable age. Some are a bit naïve and think it’s fun. They don’t understand peer pressure it’s good to explain it to them”.
