It's Time To Make A Difference


It feels a bit like that doesn’t it? It’s June already and we have no idea where the time has gone. The other months seem to have merged into February, and before we’ve realised, we are packing for our summer holidays. It’s hard to believe how fast this year has flown by. The time just disappears.

If we’re not careful, we can let life pass us by, allowing the months to merge into one. And if we’re not extremely careful, we’ll soon find ourselves singing “deck the halls” or “walking in a winter wonderland” without realising it.

If we look back over the past few months, near enough the first half of the year, what have we done with the time? What have we achieved? What difference have we made?

At some point, we have to put a stake in the ground and say, “right, it’s time to do something!”

We agree. It’s time.

At A Way Out, we begin our days deciding that today is an opportunity to make a difference in someone’s life, and we decide to do something. Every day we see people come into our centre or our community hubs and they need someone to invest in them, to give them time. We are passionate about seeing chance in people’s lives, but that can only happen when people commit to doing something about it.

It’s time to do something about those struggling with food poverty.

It’s time to do something about the women being abused and exploited.

It’s time to do something about the people trapped in addiction and depression.

No doubt you would also like to be part of making a difference in the lives of others who may be less fortunate than yourself. Maybe you feel like it is time? Is today the day you have been waiting for to action your desire to support others.

We are aware that you might be limited in time, and we have many different opportunities available from being an advocate, to being a volunteer. Just complete our volunteer application form to get the process started and we will work with you to determine the best way that you can contribute, ensuring that it fits with your lifestyle and the work of our projects.

You can also make a difference by deciding to contribute financially to make our work possible.

You can do something. Don’t you agree? It's time! 

Our team are committed to spending time with people and allowing people space to be themselves, and the freedom to make choices. We are committed to giving people the hope and confidence that they need to make it through.

If you want to be a part of this incredible team and make a difference, or want to do something to support those who are giving their time to see this continue to be possibility, please contact Rachel Broughton on 01642 655071 or Rachel.broughton@awayout.co.uk. You can find out more information about how to get involved by exploring our website or giving us a call.
