Volunteer Programme at PCT, Addiction Services 

SUIT have recently been sucessful in setting up a volunteer scheme within wolverhampton Addiction service.  After  3 years of gruelling work, SUIT have set up the scheme, whereby established SUIT volunteers can apply to gain 'real life experence' of working within a Tier 3 drug treatment environment.  This is a breakthrough within the city and SUIT hope that the scheme will pioneer the way that statutory services work with the 3rd sector.
