From now on 1 or more hour/s of my week will be spent on chatroom and private chat on their website, hoping that I can help a teenager or young person to figure out how to get their life back on track. I don't think I'm an expert at life, far from it, but I've got experience at living, and if that experience might help even one person I don't think that 1 hour a week of my time is too much to spend trying to help.
It's a great opportunity to volunteer at something that you can do while your kids are asleep, and which doesn't tie you into a specific time and day each week.
I had a great time at the training and the staff and other volunteers were lovely. If you are interested then get in touch, or if you know of a 14 - 25 year old that might need a hand to get their life back on track, refer them to the website, they also have qualified counsellors and advisors who can help.
