Human contact is vital. Many of the people we work with experience the sort of isolation we experienced during the Covid-19 pandemic every day due to an alcohol problem. We believe that everyone has the right to be treated with dignity and respect and offer support in a person-centred way. Social contact and having someone to talk to can make a massive difference. As you build a connection you might also be opening a door to new opportunities and knowledge in your own life. We ask that you understand or have compassion towards people who have had a difficult relationship with alcohol now or in the past and are good at listening without judgement. All volunteers will be given necessary training and ongoing support and supervision.
