Once a reclusive drug user, his life was marked by isolation and a lack of social interaction. Beyond regular visits to the methadone clinic and reading martial arts novels, P was nearly disconnected from society. Taking the First Step Towards Social Engagement SideBySide outreach social worker met P at the methadone clinic. Noticing P’s extremely limited social life, Social worker referred him to the “Three of Us” programme. This initiative aims to help service users build a supportive community network through companionship with volunteers, fostering protective factors against relapse. By coincidence, when social worker later transferred to the volunteer development service team, he continued supporting P in his new role. Together with the volunteers, social worker accompanied P on his journey of reconnecting with the community. A New Chapter Through Volunteer Support At the programme's start, the volunteers focused on helping P explore the community and form new connections. They accompanied him to visits at elderly community centres, encouraged him to take part in SideBySide activities, and organised cross-group gatherings with other “Three of Us” participants. Regular phone check-ins from the volunteers also provided P with consistent care and reassurance. To improve P’s access to community information, the volunteers patiently taught him how to use a smartphone. Previously a “dumb phone” user, unfamiliar with technology, P gradually learned to operate a smartphone. He is now able to communicate with the volunteers via WhatsApp, surprising even himself with his progress. This new skill has made him feel more connected to the outside world. The “Three of Us” programme has significantly expanded P’s social circle and enriched his life. During one memorable moment, a volunteer stayed by his side after an eye surgery to ensure his safe discharge, leaving P deeply moved by the care and support he received. The volunteers even shared with social worker their commitment to accompanying P throughout the rest of his life, hoping to carry forward this spirit of care. 151 | 2024-2025 | 年報 ANNUAL REPORT VOLUNTEER DEVELOPMENT SERVICE 義
