About Choices
Attendees come from various backgrounds and are in recovery from substance addiction. They may also have a history of homelessness. They are in need of friendship and welcoming as they make the step to come to a social group with similar people. The youngest members are probably 30 years old.

We are seeking people to help support this group - to welcome, encourage and befriend. A listening ear would be a real advantage as well as being a good role model and an encourager. The group runs every Friday for approximately 25 people a week from 5:30 PM to 8 PM. We would be seeking a weekly or fortnightly voluntary commitment during those times.

The evenings often include:
• Group therapy
• Food
• Badminton (occasionally)
• Quizzes
• Bingo nights
• Poetry Group

The social club committee also organises weekend social events.
