Get Involved
Support for Families (S4F) relies on the efforts of volunteers to deliver the service. Volunteers are welcome from all walks of life – you may have personal experience of drug use, or of coping with someone else’s drug use, or have some spare time and want to use it productively. You don’t need any experience to become a volunteer – just enthusiasm and commitment to do something positive in the fight against drugs.

Become a Volunteer
We’re absolutely delighted you’re thinking about volunteering with Support for Families. Just a couple of hours a week can make a huge difference in someone else’s life - whether it’s helping at our food larder, supporting community events, or offering a friendly face and listening ear.
You don’t need any special experience - just kindness, reliability, and a belief in the power of community.
Become a Trustee
We’re thrilled you’re considering joining Support for Families as a trustee. It’s a meaningful way to support our mission - just a few hours a month can help shape decisions that make a lasting difference in people’s lives.
We welcome fresh perspectives, lived experience, and a shared commitment to inclusion and community wellbeing. You don’t need to be an expert - just someone who cares deeply and is ready to help steer our journey.
