During volunteers week we have been sharing volunteer stories and interviews to promote volunteering, raise awareness of Change Grow Live and also thank our volunteers for all they do to support us as an organisation, our service users and everyone in recovery.

As it is Boxfit Friday, we thought it would be fitting to introduce our amazing volunteer, Lenny. Lenny currently delivers our Recovery Boxfit group on a Friday afternoon, which integrates physical fitness into recovery.

On behalf of all the staff, thank you Lenny for the time you give and all you do, you are greatly appreciated!
