Substance Misuse Volunteering & Training

NewSteps
Service User Volunteer Programme

The NewSteps project is a learning support programme linking those still receiving treatment with suitable volunteering placements not in substance misuse but within the wider community. The project aims to provide service users with the opportunity to positively make a difference to communities via volunteering.

This will enable volunteers to move forward through learning and volunteering which will build confidence, skills and knowledge.

What we can offer:
• One-to-one support
• Free training to enhance your skills and development
• Support and encouragement
• Match you to an appropriate buddy who will support you
• Education and qualifications
• A variety of placement agencies for you to volunteer

As a NewSteps volunteer, you will be linked with a
volunteer buddy/befriender who will support and encourage
you throughout your volunteering within your chosen
placement.

Volunteer Placements:
You will be placed in an agency of your choice from our
registered placements with NewLink Wales, such as -

• Conservation Schemes
• Environmental Projects
• Animal/Marine Centres and Working Farms
• Garden Centres
• Horticultural
• Skill Building
• Restoration Projects
• And many more
