Toolkit: Real voices in volunteering
18 Jan 2012
Adfam has developed a 'Real voices in volunteering' toolkit for use by any volunteer, prospective volunteer, volunteer-manager or prospective volunteer-manager.
It represents an important new resource - the first time that both the generic volunteering material and the background information on drugs, alcohol and families has been brought together into one place, illustrated by the real life experiences of recovering substance users, family members and volunteer managers. Throughout the creation of the toolkit these groups were consulted and their knowledge and expertise used to help make something practical and resonant for the sector.
Adfam hope and believe that this toolkit will aid those already involved in volunteering, encourage those thinking about becoming a volunteer and reassure organisations worried about employing someone with a history of substance use. We hope that you will, as one contributor said to us, ‘be brave – step out there!’.
The toolkit is available to download in its entirety and its appendices are also seperately available.
