The Upstreet Project - Elizabeth House & Artichoak Cottage

We specialise in the care, support and rehabilitation of individuals with a diagnosis of ARBD, including Korsakoff's Syndrome and related conditions.

Many of our clients have come into our care following an episode of Wernicke's encephalopathy further to a chronic lack of thiamine in their system. Often this has been as a result of long-term alcohol dependency, although Korsakov's syndrome can also be caused by other forms of malnutrition.

🌞🔥 Bank Holiday BBQ Fun at Elizabeth House! 🔥🌞

Our amazing clients took charge of the grill this Bank Holiday Monday, cooking up a delicious BBQ feast! 🍔🌭🍗

It was a wonderful day filled with laughter, teamwork, and tasty treats, as we celebrated togetherness and increasing independence. A huge thank you to all our fantastic clients who made the day so special!

Our clients thoroughly enjoyed the thrills and laughter (despite the changeable weather - this is England, after all 🤣) during our recent trip to Thorpe Park. Supporting individuals with ARBD (Alcohol-Related Brain Damage) means not only providing specialist care but also ensuring meaningful engagement with mainstream activities and events.

Trips like these help build confidence, promote inclusion, and bring joy to everyone involved. Seeing our clients experience the rides, share smiles, and create new memories truly highlighted how important it is for everyone to have access to fun and fulfilling experiences.

A massive well done to the members of the care & support team who organised this and made it happen. It was a huge success!

We're already looking forward to our next adventure! 🎉

We're ready for the summer - and some of our clients are looking forward to their trip to Thorpe Park tomorrow - not so much the rain that is forecast though! Please keep your fingers crossed for them that it doesn't bucket down!

Elizabeth House lounge is getting a makeover! Even though the clients will have the final say (as it's their home), all input is very welcome. Do you have any thoughts on colours?

💡 Paying Fairly, Valuing Great People 💡

We have just announced another pay rise for our team. We believe that paying at least the Real Living Wage isn't just the right thing to do—it’s essential. But we don’t stop there.

💰 We pay above the Real Living Wage because our hard-working, dedicated team absolutely deserves it.
😊 Our team stays with us—just 3% staff turnover in the last 12 months! (in case you're wondering, that is VERY unusual in this industry!)
🙌 Happy, valued employees = much better care and support for our clients. If we can reduce one more stress for them out there in the real world, our clients benefit from happier, undistracted, thriving team support.

Fair pay isn’t a cost—it’s an investment in people. And when people feel valued, they stick around. 💙
