Looking for Volunteers
We know that you or a member of your circle uses SMART Recovery to help on the road to recovery from addiction. Do you want to share your story to help fly the flag about SMART and potentially help others on their journey? If the answer to these questions is yes, read on.
SMART Recovery’s annual fundraising campaign – Unite for Recovery – kicks off on the 15th May. With a focus on getting moving, we hope you can join this year’s push to fly the flag high for SMART – certainly, there are so many ways you can get involved. More information on the campaign will be on its way to you very soon.
This year, to reach the masses with our messages, we’ll be launching an awareness campaign and we’re on the look-out for people to help.
If you or a member of your circle have used the SMART programme to help you on your road to recovery and if you are willing to talk to broadcast media and/ or have your story publicised in the media to help raise awareness of SMART and potentially help others on their recovery journey, then we’d LOVE to hear from you.
Why? Because we’re hoping to recruit SMART Recovery champions to this year’s campaign.
What does it involve? A short interview with the Unite for Recovery campaign team to ascertain your story and availability on and in the run up to the 15th May to speak with media and tell your inspiring story.
In true SMART Recovery style, you’d be supported each and every step of the way – so there’s no need to worry if it sounds exciting but a little daunting. Furthermore, only materials you approve will be circulated to media.
If you’re interested in hearing more, email [email protected] and we can answer any questions you might have and take things forwards.
Thanks for supporting us to help the public to Unite for Recovery.
