We are looking for a team of three male and three female volunteers to be core team to run The Recovery Course at Fairwinds in Falmouth starting in the new year. The criteria is that you need to be a Christian (doesn’t matter for how long) and have yourself struggled with a form of addiction or compulsive behaviour (again it can be any form) and are now in recovery. Obviously for sensitivity please don’t volunteer here! However please share and ask anyone interested to get in touch with me confidentially Ben.hudd@tmfalmouth.org.
