Further information

Worcestershire Pathways to Recovery welcomes volunteers from a range of backgrounds. Our volunteers make a real difference to the lives or our service users and vice versa. The opportunities are numerous, from cooking or gardening to IT or sports training or gaining experience for a future career; volunteering with CRI is what you make it.

 

You can give as little as a couple of hours a month.
Visit www.cri.org.uk/about/volunteers for more information.

 

We also have a number of peer mentors who are service users that have progressed through their recovery journeys and want to share their experiences with others who are at an earlier stage of recovery. We provide training for potential peer mentors to ensure that they are well-equipped to volunteer in this challenging and important role.
