Volunteer FeedbackDavid - Reception, Admin and Digital Media
I enjoy volunteering at the centre due to the friendly, supportive members of staff and the sense of fulfilment that I get from helping the centre. I have been helping to support people struggling with their mental health since I was a child and because of this, I have gained a lot of experience and understanding of the struggles people face. I have personally lived with debilitating depression, anxiety & PTSD and love that I am able to volunteer for a place that makes a real difference in so many peoples lives and give what time I can to help others who are going through similar experiences. Jordan - Digital Media
Volunteering at the centre helped me overcome my social anxiety, build confidence and improve my digital media skills. After graduating, I struggled finding employment and CLC gave me a lot of experience in a work environment and the support I needed to find a role suitable for me. I have now been employed for over 3 years and I wouldn't have gained employment without the support of the centre and the wonderful staff. |

MEET REBECCA

“I moved to Prestwich after a severe mental breakdown. I came to CLC for support. I was isolated and needed to connect to others. I am a long standing member of the community who has endured long term mental health.”
How it has helped her “Everything, support and acceptance, understanding, compassion”. We asked Rebecca how she felt about CLC... “It's fantastic, it's lifesaving & educational. It's important to the community. If you are struggling, come, get involved, you are not alone and they can help”
