Build on Belief
Build on Belief provides a safe space at weekends for people struggling with, or in recovery from, drug and alcohol addiction.

However, most of your time will be spent generally engaging with our service users, playing board games, chatting and making them feel welcome. We also occasionally go out on day trips. Regular weekend volunteering is required on either Saturday or Sunday.
