Planned and commenced delivery of: (i) Drop-in two half-days every week since end of September 2021. These Drop-in sessions provide a safe space for our guests so their sense of isolation and loneliness improve. In this space all are welcome and hospitality provided free of charge. Since September we had many honest conversations and built many trusting relationships which enabled our team to support our guests on their recovery. (ii) We started The Recovery Course - a 12-step recovery course from 2[nd] November. This is a group discussion course based on the 12-step of AA but from a Christian faith perspective. - (iii) a programme on detoxification in the community – in which we support individuals to detoxify at home with clinical support from KEYS Project UK. - (iv) We have supported and served 60+ guests(clients) by the end of December. - 5.
