Jacob Jones, Volunteering Lead at Wirral Ways, shares three reasons to get involved.

  1. Build your confidence and grow your skills

Volunteering is a great opportunity to get hands-on, practical experience, working within a team and on your own, within a drug and alcohol service. It can help you towards your next steps, whether that’s employment, more experience, or just personal development. It builds great CV skills, experience and friendships, and it’s really good for your wellbeing.

  1. Create routine and structure

Volunteering gives you a regular place to be, a routine and a purpose. It helps you form healthy habits and gives you structure, which is especially important if you’re in recovery or returning to work.

  1. Make a difference while growing yourself

Volunteering at Wirral Ways gives you a fantastic opportunity to make a difference. You can grow yourself, support your community, and give back to a service that may have helped you and made a difference to your life. You can make a positive impact by supporting others and feel part of something special.

Have a look at what volunteering opportunities we’ve got, it’s a fantastic opportunity to grow, develop and learn new skills.
