Volunteer opportunities at Aquarius

At Aquarius, we strive to help people overcome the harms caused by alcohol, drugs and gambling. We work closely with individuals, families and friends to lessen the impact caused by the behaviour of a loved one.

Some of the most important people at Aquarius are our volunteers, many of our services rely on the help and support given by them. There are many different roles and responsibilities undertaken by our volunteers and often no two days are the same. We aim to fit the person’s experience, skills and knowledge to the different types of volunteer roles that we have.

There are various projects running within the Birmingham Services that volunteers can get involved with:

Young People’s service
Grow Project
Steps to Change Project
Aquarius Care
