🎧 THE THIRD SPACE WRAPPED
Track 3: More Than a Drop-In

This year we hosted:
🏠 205 support sessions in our hub
(40 statutory / 165 external)

Meaning:
The Third Space became more than our space.
It became a place where the whole community could access support.

AND:
🥫 43 emergency food interventions
📋 29 Citizens Advice sessions
🔄 72 referrals into treatment/services

Because recovery support isn’t just “don’t use drugs.”
It’s housing, it’s food, benefits, trust, advocacy, safety and dignity.

We don’t just hold space.
We bridge gaps.

Track 2: You Came. You Stayed. You Came Back.

Want to know how we know this works?

Because people don’t just visit once.

They came back.

Again … again … and again

We built a community ❤

🎧 THE THIRD SPACE WRAPPED 2025/26
Track 1: How it started vs how it’s going

One year ago, we opened a tiny thing called The Recovery Space.
A little room, with a little kettle and bunch of hope that maybe if we built something … people might come.

Then you lot turned it into something bigger.

✨ We became The Third Space
(a name chosen by the people who use it)

And in ONE YEAR we have:
💥 Supported 167 individual humans
💥 Including 92 people with lived experience
💥 And 75 affected others (because recovery affects everyone)

Not bad for “just a room with tea,” eh?
And we’re only getting started.

Last week I was invited to be involved in the University of Birmingham’s first public advisory panel meeting of the LEROS project which officially started at the beginning of March this year.
In this 3-year NIHR funded project, we are going to be mapping and evaluating Lived Experience Recovery Organisations that support people in recovery from drug and alcohol addiction in England and we will also be developing a core outcome set to capture the impact of the work of LEROs in the treatment and recovery System.
The panel has representation from people with lived experience of addiction and recovery and people in professional roles across the drug and alcohol addiction and recovery landscape in England.
I will keep you all posted with updates ❤

We’re in a lull period…
which our language means:
👉 we’re about to accidentally create something incredible
Reiki?
Music therapy?
Throwing jam at a wall and calling it healing?

YOU DECIDE.
🧠 Come help shape what happens next
