One week to go ⏳

With the World Cup around the corner ⚽ we often see a rise in alcohol and other drug use, domestic violence, and anti-social behaviour during major tournaments.

This FREE webinar takes a closer look at what’s behind this, with honest discussion, practical harm reduction advice, and space for you to reflect and ask questions 💬

Whether you support others, work in services, or want to better understand the bigger picture, all are welcome to join.

Bank holiday weekend is just around the corner 🙌 and it looks like it's going to be a scorcher☀️

Our service will be closed on Monday 25 May, but support is still available locally and nationally over the weekend. Scroll through to find out more.

If you’re able to, we hope you enjoy the long weekend. And to everyone working, thank you. We hope you get some time to rest and recharge soon.

*Apologies if we jinxed the warm weather promised to us.

We're feeling so thankful after the 'Give it a Try' event! 🥰

Grateful for Kerry, James, and Rob for running some brilliant taster sessions. Kany and Trevor had some great conversations about how people can access our mental health pathway. Ben did an amazing job making sure everything ran smoothly.

But most importantly, we're so proud of every single person who tried something new and did something out of their comfort zone. Especially those who attended our recovery hub for the first time. Well done. 👏🏻❤️

Hey Barnsley, my name's Jess and I'm a Stop Smoking Advisor for Barnsley Recovery Steps.

I came from a predominately sales admin background for many years. Originally from South London I moved up North 4 years ago and continued doing similar roles and worked for a company I loved, but had an overwhelming desire to try a new career path where I was truly helping people instead so I applied for a housing support worker role and worked for Target Housing previously which took me to where I am today as a Stop Smoking Advisor. I have been in the role for 10 months.

I really enjoy helping people and making them feel happier and better in themselves. I find much more meaning in helping people directly and trying to make a positive impact on their lives.

Outside of work I love cooking and baking, gaming, reading and going to lots of gigs. I am also a keen swimmer and big animal lover always feeding the wildlife in my garden including hedgehogs

I have a cat (called Kat! Original name!) who I adopted as an adult cat from a rescue centre 10 years ago, she a black moggy and is very spoilt.

Our Stop Smoking service is open to anyone who is receiving support and to your family and loved ones. Get in touch today! 🥰

Tomorrow’s the day! 💛

Join us for our 'Give it a Try' event tomorrow at the Recovery Hub. Come along, try some taster sessions, enjoy some free lunch, and see what the hub is all about.

We hope hearing from Kerry, James and Rob in our recent videos has given you a glimpse into just how welcoming and friendly our Recovery Hub community really is.

Everyone is welcome and we’d love to meet you 💫

Meet James and Rob, some of the incredible people who keep the recovery hub running smoothly 💙

Rob is one of our valued volunteers, and James has recently taken the next step in his journey, moving into a role as an apprentice recovery coach, where he’s been doing a great job for the past six months.

Hear how the hub, along with the groups they attend and help run, continues to inspire and strengthen their recovery journey.

If you’ve been thinking about coming along but feel nervous, you’re not alone. We hope hearing real stories from people in recovery and taking part in our relaxed taster sessions will help make that first step feel a little easier.

Don’t forget our 'Give it a Try' event for Mental Health Awareness Week is taking place on Monday 18 May at 1pm at the recovery hub, McLintocks Business Centre (Crookes Street entrance). Everyone is welcome.

Meet Kerry, one of the amazing volunteers at our recovery hub ✨

Kerry will be running a guided meditation taster session at our Give it a Try event on Monday 18 May. As Kerry says, “meditation is medication” 💛

The event starts at 1pm at the recovery hub (S70 6BX), with a free lunch provided and everyone welcome.

Come along and try something new. Whilst you're there, discover what support and activities are available here at Barnsley Recovery Steps.
