We’re proud to work in the recovery space, supporting people as they rebuild their lives beyond addiction.

Today we did something a little different.

We partnered with Colin Anderson to deliver a powerful poetry workshop at Parkland Place Adferiad. Sharing his lived experience following the Hillsborough disaster, Colin showed how creativity can support recovery.

The session gave people space to reflect and express their own journeys through poetry. As well as hearing another story of resilience and recovery that wasn’t related to addiction.

Great feedback all round. A huge thanks to Colin and our partners Adferiad.

This academic year alone, we’ve worked with thousands of Year 10 students across Greater Manchester and we’ve LOVED every minute of it.

Massive credit to Oly for delivering another powerful and impactful session 👏🏻

On to the next 🧠💪🏻💙

Sometimes, even when you’re surrounded by people, you feel alone. Many of us have problems that we are keeping to ourselves in the fear that other people won’t understand, or worse, they might judge us. Reaching out can feel impossible.

If you take that step to open up and share how you are feeling, you won’t regret it. There are so many people out there that want to help. There are people who understand, people who listen without judgment, people who want to connect.

The opposite of addiction is connection. Once you free yourself of that burden, the doors are wide open to a new life that is waiting for you, a life that would be lost if you never sought help.

Take that step. Tell someone. You don’t have to do this alone.

Is this addiction? 💬

Gaming isn’t the problem on its own but when it starts to take more than it gives,
that’s where questions matter.

Not to judge but to understand what’s really going on.

Is this addiction? 🤔

Tommy, 14 stays up most nights gaming until 3am. He says it helps him switch off and forget about everything else. But he wakes up exhausted and struggles to get up for schools.

Is this addiction? Or is he just having fun? 👇️
