Hi, my name is Chris. I came to know about the Butterfly Effect through a family member. I’ve always been interested in supporting people with mental health and having previously volunteered with a mental health charity I thought I had something to offer and help with social groups being held in the bungalow. I started volunteering in the Friday social group and Wednesday craft group. I now volunteer every Wednesday craft group and Thursday carers social group. I help out on other days when the needed. I love working for the Butterfly I get just as much out of being here as the people who come who need the groups. Seeing people moving on in their recovery is the best medicine I can have. I’ve been made to feel welcome by all staff and volunteers and service users. I feel as if we are one big Butterfly Family.
