Important update regarding our Saturday Sober Social 💛
After careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to pause our weekly Saturday Sober Social with immediate effect, including tomorrow’s session.
This is not a decision we have taken lightly. Since launching in January, the group has become a genuinely welcoming and valued space for people to connect, socialise without pressure, and simply spend time together in a safe and supportive environment. We know how important that space has become for many people in our community.
At the moment, however, we are unable to sustainably staff and safely run the group on a regular basis. Because we work with vulnerable people, it’s essential that the space is overseen appropriately and consistently, and until we have a viable long-term plan in place, we feel it is fairer and more responsible to pause the group rather than continue with ongoing week-by-week cancellations or uncertainty. Behind the scenes, we are actively exploring sustainable options for the future of the group, and we want to reassure you this will not be goodbye forever.
Thank you to everyone who has attended, supported, volunteered, shared conversations, played chess or pool, had a coffee, or simply helped make the space what it became. We appreciate you all very much 💛
We will share updates as soon as we have them.
