Duties: You will be matched with a fellow veteran (or veterans if you choose to support more than one) in a Peer Support role, to share experiences and perspectives about support from CTS and other services. This is a particularly valuable and rewarding volunteering role because, for those individuals new into CTS, having a peer who understands what they have been through and can provide support via regular contact, will really make a positive difference to their time within CTS.
