How we manage and safeguard your dataJoin our team of volunteers helping people to recover from substance misuse. Whether you can offer an hour or more per week on a short or long term basis we will have the role to suit you.

Volunteering is the most worthwhile thing you can ever do. It gives a real sense of achievement, allows the development of new skills and the social possibilities are endless!

Meet two of our volunteers!
P.G. is just one of Bridge’s amazing volunteers, supporting delivery of services three days a week. Here is what he had to say about volunteering:
“Bridge and Unity has changed my life from attending as a client 4 years ago. I accessed all the process groups and got through the battle of multiple addictions. I started the health and social care course Bridge offers about 18 months ago, and loved all the learning and becoming more educated. I now volunteer in the A.I.M group, the group I first attended, and I love it. I also volunteer in the Fresh Start Hub, and all the support I get off staff is brilliant. As a volunteer at Bridge we are all looked after, the Volunteer Coordinator is always there for us, providing support and information. We volunteers at Bridge are like one big happy family. Come and join us. Greenie x”
R.B is another of our fantastic volunteers, supporting the 4women service three days a week. Here is what she has to say about volunteering:
“Volunteering is part of my recovery. An opportunity to show I’m not just an ex drug user. Giving back to the people who are starting their recovery or are still in active addiction brings me so much reward. Volunteering is a way to build up your confidence, knowledge, training and bring meaning back to your life.”
