August 2017 - Futures In Mind

The (Zach’s) Bench

The (Zach’s) Bench – A story of what this is all about! (names substituted)

Zach’s bench and recovery. As most of you reading this will know I am involved with an ongoing team project at Langdon Hills Nature Reserve. Working as a volunteer with Essex Wildlife Trust and as part of my recovery from alcohol addiction I am doing this with Futures in Mind. The team of some 12 stalwart fellow “ recoverees “ take part in various conservation based activities and together we not only strengthen our recovery we further enhance it as part of the Recovery Through Nature programme.

Service User Forum

Every area in Essex that is under our service has access to a Service User Forum. This a place where you can voice your concerns and initiatives. The groups are lead by volunteers and are a place where you are safe to share ideas.

Some of the topics up for discussion are around:

Setting up new groups

Venue suitability

Developing established groups

Concerns or worries about activites

And anything else that is relevant to you.
