FEEDBACK
I was in a rut, I knew this but couldn’t seem to escape. This scheme gave me direction and focus. Couldn’t praise it highly enough.
Since joining the Rossinver Community Youth Group under the drug and rehabilitation program as a recovering alcoholic I have received so much support and confidence in myself. I have done courses that I didn’t think I would be able to do before and have received any help that I needed. I am sober 5 ½ years and now looking forward to improving myself and my life ahead.
