Addiction Support Badges

The Addiction Support badge recognises real experience in addiction support — for example mentoring someone in recovery, supporting a recovery group and helping at a support service. You earn it by volunteering — not by ticking a box — so it is evidence you can stand behind.

How to earn the Addiction Support badge

Earn a bronze badge at 10 hours, silver at 50, and gold at 100 — verified and shareable. Log your volunteering hours in addiction support roles, and your badge tier grows automatically once your hours are verified.

Why this badge is worth earning

Addiction Support is supporting people affected by addiction and in recovery — exactly the kind of cause employers and universities look for evidence of. A verified badge is stronger proof than a line on a CV. See addiction support opportunities.
