Recovery starts with understanding, not judgement.

This Recovery Month, we're reminding everyone that harm minimisation saves lives and helps people stay safer while finding their own path forward.

Many people face barriers to seeking support because they're worried about being judged. That's why our NHS Harm Minimisation Drop-Ins provide a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space where people can access information, advice and practical support.

Available at our drop-ins:

BBV testing
Naloxone and overdose awareness support
Harm minimisation advice
Referrals to specialist services

Tuesday 10th & 24th September
10:00am - 2:00pm

There is no one-size-fits-all recovery journey. Whether someone is taking their first step, reducing risk, rebuilding their wellbeing, or supporting a loved one, everyone deserves access to support, dignity and respect.

💜 Together, we can challenge stigma, promote safety, and help people find their own path towards a healthier future.

👉 Please share this post. You never know who might see it and realise they're not alone.

Yesterday was special.

As we launched Recovery Month, 430 people visited George Street Social. That's the highest number of visitors we've welcomed in a single day during the entire 10 years of Road To Recovery Trust

We're incredibly grateful to everyone who played a part in making the day such a success. From local organisations and community partners to volunteers, supporters, and everyone who came along, thank you.

Every conversation, every connection, and every show of support helps challenge stigma and creates space for recovery to be seen, celebrated, and supported.

Together, we're proving that recovery is alive, thriving, and visible in our communities.

Thank you for being part of it. 💜

George Street Social

Many people struggle in silence, but support is available and recovery is possible.

We're delighted to welcome Nathan from NECA to Road To Recovery Trust on the first Wednesday of every month, offering free, confidential support and advice around gambling.

Whether you're experiencing difficulties yourself, supporting a loved one, or simply looking for information, Nathan is here to listen without judgement and help you explore your options.

You don't have to face things alone. Sometimes, the first conversation can be the start of positive change.

Feel free to drop in and have a chat.
