📖 Have you read His-Story?

“I thought the book was an amazing read, and what I liked about it was it felt a lot similar to my own journey with drugs. Reading Ricky’s story about his faith made me think about my faith and how much it will help me going forward.”

It’s encouraging to hear how Ricky’s story has connected with readers and prompted reflection on their own journeys ❤️

Have you read it? We’d love to hear what you thoughts! Share in the comments or leave a review where you bought or downloaded your copy.

“I had no hope for the future.”

For *James supported by Street Connect, life before reaching out involved homelessness, addiction and deep emotional distress.

Today, we’re sharing his words of hope:

“Feels good to be valued.”

“I have now safe place to put my head at night.”

“I have hope for my future.”

*James is now seven months heroin-free, living in supported accommodation and receiving support from Street Connect, their church and other services, including a mental health team.

Their hopes are personal and full of possibility: playing music again, having a place to call home and getting a dog.

💚 This World Mental Health Day, their story reminds us how much being valued, having support and finding safety can mean.

Recovery takes time, and every person deserves compassion along the way.

“My life was chaotic, a felt run down and didn't know if I was coming or going.”

As World Mental Health Day approaches, we’re sharing the words of someone supported by Street Connect, who described feeling nervous and anxious before reaching out.

Reflecting on life now, they shared:

“My life is a lot calmer than what it was before a started talking to the people at street connect.”

They’ve also reconnected with their girlfriend and daughter, and their hopes include returning to employment and building a happy life.

Recovery is about more than stopping alcohol or drug use. It’s also about emotional wellbeing, rebuilding relationships and having someone to talk to.

💚 Everyone deserves to be heard, valued and supported.

Offering hope that can lead to life transformation for individuals struggling with addiction and associated issues such as homelessness and poor mental health.

We had a great time at The Revival and The Calling this week! Thank you to everyone who stopped by the Street Connect stand to say hello, hear about our work and chat with the team.

It was lovely to meet so many people and share our passion for bringing hope to people affected by addiction.

Sometimes, a simple conversation can make a lasting impression. 💬

We recently received a lovely phone call from a woman who wanted to share how much she appreciated seeing our outreach team on the streets of Royston.

Having been in recovery for around 20 years, she had a positive conversation with our team member Linda and took the time to call and share her encouragement.

It was a reminder of why being present matters—making time for people, building relationships and letting them know support is there.

Thank you to our outreach teams and volunteers for showing up with care and compassion. 💙
