Addictions Recovery Cafe SCIO

About

Provide a safe place for Recoverists to meet,and access aid. We signpost to organizations that help people with drug and alcohol addictions, assisting them on their road to recovery and helping to maintain that recovery. Our primary days of opening are Wednesdays where we provide a welcoming environment with hot food (usually soups) and sandwiches, cakes etc. We offer food from Food-share and other donators plus any hot food remaining to take away. We have a number of both other charitable organizations (housing associations, Bute Advice, adult learning, home energy/warm home etc) and Govt agencies that attend on various Wednesdays and meet with the Recoverists in need. One of the big aims of our charity is the reduction of the stigma involved with addictions. We have a rough split of 40% each drug and alcohol Recoverists (although, often they have can have issues with both drugs and alcohol) with the remaining 20% what we call 'social' attendees.
