Working with local businesses

We are always looking for local businesses or groups to get involved with any initiatives that will benefit our services and service user’s. We promote activities that our service user’s can do to help build communities, which is two-purpose, it gives back to the community and provides them with constructive activities to provide meaning to their use of time. If you would like to donate services or time to an event or even have ideas please drop us a line at InclusionVolunteering@sssft.nhs.uk

Working with individuals with lived experience

We believe that ex-service user’s and also those who are still on their journeys with us bring a valuable and inspirational message to those currently in or starting their treatment. To see those that have successfully engaged in support, actively participated in interventions and/or completed treatment has strength and add’s not only value to what we can offer but also add’s faith to the belief that those individuals that use our service’s can change.

We also have a strong team of volunteers and our coordinators do an excellent job managing and supporting this scheme, alongside encouraging and developing community events and activities for the range of volunteers and current service users to take part in.

This whole scheme is at the centre of recovery and promoting self-worth, self-esteem and self-belief that individuals are able to build on their strengths, reduce and/or stop substance use and lead a life not reliant or controlled by alcohol or drugs. Community activities are an integral part of the involvement of our range of volunteers and also service user’s who are enlisted and encouraged to get involved at all levels too!
