We need funding to run our Recovery Hub which supports people to recover from drug and alcohol addiction. Your donation will help us to run recovery coaching, a helpline and peer workshops that help vulnerable people rebuild their lives and give back to their local community.

    The cost of addiction is high for the individual, their families and society. The people we support have complex interlinked needs, such as mental health issues, are victims of domestic violence, and have a range of addictions from alcohol and drugs, to sex, gambling or food. Addicts are often stuck in a cycle of addiction, treatment and then falling back into addiction. This is because they are often unsupported in recovery and don't have a future to look forward to.

    Kennedy Street hub provides a safe space for people to find out about recovery options, to come together to meet peers who are in recovery to learn from them, get recovery support and coaching, accessing workshops to help them with personal development and future employment opportunities, and volunteering to help others. We work intensively with people, looking to wrap around support to help them sort out sometimes chaotic lives, mentoring and coaching to help them sustain their recovery.
