North Wales Peer Mentoring Scheme
North Wales Peer Mentoring Scheme
The Peer Mentoring Scheme helps and supports individuals who are or who have been affected by drug or alcohol misuse, to make positive, sustainable lifestyle changes.
The Peer Mentoring clients in Rhyl decided that they would like to give something back to the local community by giving up their time to clean-up a park that had become a ‘problem area’. On the 22nd of March a group of 50 volunteers spent the day volunteering in the park. The day was such a success that a second volunteering was organised in June to mark national volunteer week.
On the 6th of June 40 Volunteers worked with Denbighshire Council to remove litter and hazardous material from the park, maintain the grounds and plant some flowers and shrubs. Katharine Williams from the Denbighshire County Council's Public Realm department praised the hard work of the volunteers ‘I cannot thank you all enough for your hard work and enthusiasm in Morley Road Park today, your volunteers are a credit to your organisation! I have not seen it look so tidy in a long time if ever!’ Due to the popularity of this volunteering day, the volunteers have agreed to take responsibility to maintain the park on a regular basis
We believe that this photo illustrates that any group of people, regardless of their background or personal circumstances has the power to change their country for the better.
