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.
