Well established CQC reg charity providing residential treatment for substance misuse (detox & stabilisation and residential rehabilitation)

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 💚

Bosence Rehab Thursday Lunch Tradition

At Bosence rehab, we have a long-standing tradition of hosting a Thursday homemade soup and bread lunch. This is a historic tradition that has been an opportunity for residents to connect with staff and peers, as well as to welcome clients from detox who will be transferring to our rehab programme.

The soup and bread are all homemade, prepared using ingredients collected from our polytunnels and allotments here at Bosence. This activity reflects our focus on community, sustainability, and shared wellbeing.

Thank you to Kelly, one of our incredible key workers, for highlighting this lovely tradition 💚

Congratulations to nurse Charlie who was voted Employee of the Month in September!

Charlie has made an incredible impact since she started at Bosence and brings a dose of sunshine (and often homemade cake) to the detox unit every time she's on shift.

Thank you Charlie 💚

We received a wonderful donation this morning: handcrafted Hedgehog Boxes, a Birdhouse, and an Insect Hotel – what a treat for the beautiful wildlife here at Bosence! Delivered by Roger and handmade by Nick, we can't wait to see these new homes buzzing, chirping and rustling with life. A huge thank you for such a thoughtful gift that will support nature on our grounds for years to come. 💚

IN honour of , this week we're asking the lovely Jon Hall The Bosence Three!

What drew you to a role in recovery?
I joined the military 13 years ago in order to help and defend the people who couldn’t help themselves. 11 years later I was medically discharged, but still left with a massive desire and want to help those in need. I saw the role advertised, took the virtual tour, read the web page a dozen times and sent in my CV. Next was the interview and show around by a client. I instantly knew this was the place for me and not long after, too my amazement I was offered the job. Not since serving my country have I felt sheer joy at spending the day work.

If you could share one piece of advice to someone entering recovery, what would it be?
My advice for someone entering recovery, whether it be you 1st or 8th time, do it with an open heart and mind and to trust, that we all as staff want the very best for you and are rooting for you every step of the way.

What activities help to keep you grounded and focussed on your wellbeing?
The things that help me keep grounded and focused the most are, long walks (and talks) with my dog Gus, taking my socks off after a long day and scrunching my toes up in the grass or carpet and if I’ve got time (or allowed…insert wink…) I love to take a step out of reality and into the world of PC gaming as I test for a games company in my spare time.
