Do you live in South Derbyshire? Are you in recovery from drug or alcohol use?

South Derbyshire CVS’s Future Focus Project aims to support you in your recovery journey by developing and improving your confidence, skills, and resilience through new knowledge and skills.

New course dates, starting soon in Swadlincote and Hilton.

Swadlincote - 6th February 2025 & Hilton - 27th March 2025

Programme Entry Guidance If you are 18 or older, in recovery from drug or alcohol use, and have a support agency referral, you are eligible to join this programme.

There are no formal educational entry requirements for the learning element of the programme.

Programme Duration Future Focus is a six-week training and support programme.

Programme Commitment You will be required to regularly attend, actively participate, and meaningfully contribute to discussions.

Programme Structure The programme includes three core mandatory foundation modules:

  • Personal and Emotional Resilience
  • Developing Independent Skills
  • Making Choices

In addition to these core modules, you will have the opportunity to complete additional learning around developing hobbies and interests, researching and accessing services and social groups in your local community, and identifying opportunities and participating in volunteering. This additional learning will be tailored to your group's feedback, needs, and interests.

You will also have the opportunity to attend an introductory session to Derbyshire Time Swap, a fantastic volunteering initiative that encourages members to ‘swap’ their time to voluntarily help someone else.

Programme Locations Future Focus is currently being delivered in South Derbyshire at locations in Swadlincote, Hilton, and Melbourne.

Programme Accreditation While this programme is not formally accredited, the three core programme modules form the basis of the AIM Quality Endorsed Certificate, which you will receive upon successful completion.

Progression Opportunities After the course, you will be provided with information, advice, and guidance to further non-accredited and accredited courses. Additionally, support will be offered to help you engage with community-based social and support services to continue your self-development journey.
