“I feel that we all have it within ourselves to change another person’s life.”
For this weeks #BelieveInPeople post we spoke to Loren who explains how her recovery from illness inspired her to change her direction. Read her story here 👇

ALT Loren has ginger hair and is wearing glasses.
ALT "Understanding that my own experiences didn't define me taught me a lesson that I think is so relevant for my role at Change Grow Live. I feel that we all have it within ourselves to change another person's life.
ALT My biggest motivation to volunteer is the idea that I can change someone's life for the better. With everything that's going on in the world it's difficult to feel that we can make much of
ALT a difference. We can feel powerless, but you just have to look around you and see there are good people doing good work." Loren

ALT "After I got clean in 2010 with support from Change Grow Live, I started up my own business as a plasterer. I'd always wanted to work within drug and alcohol services.
ALT Eventually I got a job with Change Grow Live on the outreach team and later as a recovery worker. It was my dream job.
ALT "I don't even consider myself to be in recovery anymore. I'm just living life. Now it's about me trying to be a better person and trying to do more for myself and others." Simon
