🌟 Our NEW GROUP ‘Drop-In’ Timetable 🌟

Please note that our Group Hub has moved. All group sessions will now take place at:

📍 The HUB, 12–13 Queen Street, South Shields, NE33 1HW

There are a few changes to our usual timetable, so please take a moment to check the updated schedule.

❗️MONDAY & FRIDAY SMART Recovery Groups will now both be 10am-11:30am

🩵 Remember…

Recovery is about much more than simply stopping substance use. It’s about building a new life that supports your wellbeing, growth and long-term success.

Creating structure, developing healthy routines, connecting with others and finding a sense of purpose are some of the most important foundations of sustained recovery. Attending groups regularly can help reduce isolation, increase motivation, build confidence and provide valuable support from people who truly understand the journey you’re on.

We encourage you to be brave, step outside your comfort zone and come along to our groups. You’ll learn practical tools and techniques, gain support from our group worker and fellow service members, and develop healthier habits that empower you to move forward in your recovery with confidence.

Every positive step counts and sometimes the most important step is simply walking through the door 🩵
