Cafe Volunteer

Change, Grow, Live is a voluntary sector organisation specialising in substance misuse and criminal justice intervention projects in England and Wales.

Our drug and alcohol services support adults and young people to understand the risks their drug or alcohol use pose to their health and wellbeing, and support them to reduce or stop their use safely.

Our integrated services address the needs of the whole person and encompass housing, education, training and employment as well as psycho-social and clinical substance misuse treatment. Once stability or abstinence has been achieved, we provide aftercare to help maintain recovery and reduce the likelihood of relapse. We work with the families and friends of people affected by drug or alcohol use to help develop and maintain strong, loving and stable relationships critical to successful recovery.

Volunteers make an enormous contribution to our work at Change Grow Live.

Last year over 1400 volunteers donated over a quarter of million hours of their time to our organisation.

Would you like to join our growing team of volunteers, and make a real difference?

In Halton we operate a Recovery Café which is a service user and volunteer led initiative in Widnes, providing much needed food for those who are recovering from addiction.

We are looking to build up our kitchen team of volunteers, to enable us to continue to provide this resource within our community.  

We are looking for people with an interest and experience in working or supporting in a kitchen setting.  A commitment to 1 day a week (Days negotiable) in order to prepare and to run the café. 

Those interested will be required to complete an application form online and if suitable will be invited in for an interview at CGL

Interviews are scheduled for 25/11/24 or 2/12/24

Compulsory training will be running 9/12/24 and 11/12/24 - please ensure you have availability for these dates
