💚 World Mental Health Day 2026💚

This year’s message is about making sure lived experiences are heard - real voices, real change.

Behind every mental health statistic is a person with their own story.

Here at WSUP, we believe in creating a welcoming space where people can talk, share their experiences and, most importantly, feel heard. Sometimes simply having someone listen without judgement can make a real difference.

Creating supportive communities matters. Challenging stigma matters. Listening matters.

Everyone’s experience is different, and every voice deserves to be heard.

Every September, communities around the world recognize Recovery Month-a time to celebrate recovery, break down stigma, and support everyone rebuilding their lives.
At WSUP (Weekend Service User Project), Recovery Month hits close to home. Many people we support navigate complex, overlapping challenges like homelessness, addiction, mental health issues, and trauma.
Here is what we know to be true: Recovery looks different for everyone. Whether it means harm reduction, entering treatment, reconnecting with loved ones, or taking one single positive step forward—it all matters.
Founded by people with lived experience of homelessness and addiction, our peer-led approach remains at the heart of everything we do. This month, we are also celebrating 17 years of building trust, creating connection, and offering practical support to help people move forward.
💙 No matter where you are on your journey, you are not alone.
🎉 Join Us for Recovery Day at WSUP!
📅 When: Thursday, September 24th | 11:00 AM – 4:00 PM
📍 Where: WSUP, 107 Brookhill Road, Woolwich, SE18 6BJ
This event is open to anyone curious about recovery, looking to start their own journey, or simply wanting to learn more. Come by to hear inspiring stories directly from people with first-hand lived experience who will be sharing their personal recovery paths.
We look forward to seeing you there!

Last Friday, we officially launched WSUP’s new three-year programme to help prevent homelessness and support people moving away from rough sleeping in Greenwich.

Backed by a grant from the Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government Ending Homelessness in Communities Fund, the programme will enable us to open six days a week, strengthen our casework, bring more specialist services on site and recruit a Peer Recovery Worker.

Thank you to MP, the Mayor of Royal Greenwich Cllr David Llewellyn Gardner, our partners Emmaus Greenwich and Greenwich Homeless Project, Housing Inclusion Team in Royal Borough of Greenwich, trustees, staff and volunteers for joining us to mark this important step forward.

We hold optimism for change

What an amazing Volunteer Day! 💙

A chance to step away from the usual busy days at WSUP, relax, have a laugh and spend some proper time together.

A huge thank you to The Star Pub in Plumstead and Koebe for helping make the day so special and for looking after us! 🥰

We’re incredibly lucky to have such a brilliant group of volunteers who give their time, energy and kindness to WSUP and the people we support.

WSUP simply wouldn’t be WSUP without you. 💛

Throughout Recovery Month, we’re sharing real stories from people within the WSUP community. Today, one of our long standing volunteers, Marie, shares what recovery and volunteering at WSUP have meant to her:

“I came to WSUP when I was 11 months sober. I was lost and had no proper aim in life. WSUP gave me back purpose and a feeling of belonging.

I worked in the kitchen for many years and it was very rewarding. Watching people come and go, getting to know what they liked to eat and being able to help built my confidence.

Since becoming a volunteer at WSUP, I have not looked back. I went back to work at 60 after four years out of work. Without WSUP, I would not have got the job — which I stayed at for seven years before I retired.

I would say to anyone who is trying to get clean or sober that it is not impossible.

I did not achieve this until I was 56 years old, after 40+ years of drink and drugs.

There is always hope.” 💜

Recovery looks different for everyone, and this is a powerful reminder that it is never too late for things to change.
