As we step into a new year, we’re reminded that recovery — like life — isn’t about perfection. It’s about progress. Small steps, steady growth, and showing up for ourselves - even on the hard days.

We want to thank our incredible staff who make everything we do possible. And to every resident who has trusted us with their journey — thank you. It’s a privilege to grow with you.

Happy New Year from all of us at Bosence 💚

Yesterday was the annual Bosence Christmas quiz. Sadly there weren’t prizes for best dressed but if there were, we think Ken may have stolen the show…

Thank you for the laughter Ken and for bringing your incredible skills and experience to your role as a key worker at Bosence 👍🏻 💚

We are so excited to have Kelly, one of our rehabilitation key workers, answering The Bosence Three this month. Kelly's story and has such a special significance as it really is a beautiful full circle recovery journey. Thank you for your passion and dedication Kelly!

What drew you to a role in recovery?

What drew me to this work is my own experience. I came through Bosence as a client, so I know what it feels like to be at the start—scared, lost, and unsure if things could ever change. The support I received didn’t just help me recover; it made me feel seen and valued, and it inspired me to want to give that same hope to others. Now, as a keyworker, I feel proud and grateful. Being able to stand alongside people who are where I once was is an honour, and knowing my experience can help someone feel less alone is what keeps me in this work.

If you could share one piece of advice with someone entering recovery, what would it be?

Be gentle with yourself and trust the process. Recovery isn’t about being perfect—it’s about showing up, even on tough days. When I first arrived at Bosence, I didn’t believe in myself, but by taking things one day at a time and letting others support me, I slowly started to believe change was possible. There will be setbacks, but they don’t mean you’ve failed. Recovery takes courage, and holding on to small bits of hope is what grows into real change.

What activities help keep you grounded and focused on your wellbeing?

I stay grounded by using the routines and tools I’ve learned. Fresh air and movement, mindfulness like breathing or journaling, and being honest with people I trust all help me stay centred. Keeping structure in my day and connecting with things that bring me calm, like music or nature, makes a big difference. Attending 12-step groups is also a key part of my support—it reminds me I’m not alone and helps me stay accountable. Together, these practices keep me steady and grateful for how far I’ve come.

Thank you to Zena, one of our wonderful support workers, for bringing creativity to Bosence detox over the weekend. Zena hosted a cosy Christmas tree decoration workshop so that our clients could decorate our trees with personalised decorations and messages.

And if she’s not crafting? You’ll usually find Zena with her guitar in hand, leading one of her much-loved singalongs.

Thank you Zena, for everything you bring to the Bosence community 💚

The crackle of the wood burner, a quiet moment with a book, a warm mug in hand — simple comforts that help create a safe, calm space for reflection and recovery.

At this time of year, our rehab building really comes into its own: welcoming, peaceful and full of gentle warmth.

Thank you Phil, our lovely support worker, for capturing this scene for us.

Beautiful silhouettes, shapes and colours as winter descends over the site. Moments to pause, notice and take a deep breath 💚

Hot off the back of being voted "Employee of the Month", we thought it was the perfect opportunity to sit down with Nurse Charlie and ask her The Bosence Three.

What drew you to a role in recovery?

After working in busy healthcare settings and experiencing care as a patient, I wanted a nursing role where I could give the time and attention people truly deserve. Having seen addiction’s impact within my own family, I know how vital compassion is over judgement.

What makes Bosence special is the time spent with residents, the supportive and skilled team, and the safe, nurturing environment we create together. The empathy and dedication here reflect the kind of care I’d wish for anyone I love—and being part of that is deeply meaningful.

If you could share one piece of advice to someone entering recovery, what would it be?

Though I’m still new to working in recovery, I’ve quickly learned the value of taking it an hour at a time. Looking too far ahead can feel overwhelming, so focus on the present and let some thoughts wait—everything doesn’t need to be faced at once.

Above all, speak to yourself with kindness. If you wouldn’t say it to a friend, don’t say it to yourself. Recovery is a journey, and self-compassion is one of the most powerful tools along the way.

What activities help to keep you grounded and focussed on your wellbeing?

When I need to feel grounded, I’m always drawn to nature. Walking through the fields with my dog Maggie, feeling the grass under my feet, or watching clouds drift by reminds me to appreciate life’s simple gifts.

In summer, I find peace paddleboarding, and in winter I turn to creativity—crocheting and baking bring me joy. There’s something special about creating something from so little, and even more in sharing it with others.

Thank you Charlie 💚
