Welcome to the StreetScene Voluntary Work page.
In the second stage of treatment we do encourage and support clients in to getting voluntary work. This gives an excellent opportunity for people to get out there and mix in the community, get back into being responsible and hopefully give people the opportunity to get involved with something they get something out of. It also is a good start for a current CV for future employment.
To give an idea of what kind of things there are available; we have links with the National Trust, particularly Brownsea Island, where people go to work in the nature reserve. We have links with Dorset Reclaim, where old furniture is recycled, given a new lease of life and resold. We have links with Oxfam which has a variety of opportunities. We have links with AFC Bournemouth which results in people helping out at the football ground on an ad hoc basis. Other options are available and if a client has a particular interest we will try to see if it can be catered for it locally.
