Today we’re talking about the Well Community - a recovery community in the North of England - it’s an urban conurbation populated by people in recovery, that offers a range of high-quality services which are available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Support is free to members and is provided by staff and volunteers with 'lived experience' of addiction. The team also specialises in providing support to people with mental health issues, offending behaviour, childhood trauma, learning difficulties, domestic abuse and homelessness.
They’ve become a well-known and highly respected service provider in Cumbria and north Lancashire. Of those who've used our services, 69% have recovered after 6 months.
