**What the charity does:** Care &amp; Share (C &amp; S) began in 2008 as a collaboration between Riverside Church and the Ayrshire &amp; Arran NHS Trust. Its initial aim was to support people affected by homelessness through providing a drop-in facility (with a meal) where health support could be provided and clients could be sign- posted to other relevant services. It has evolved over the past 17 years into an organisation providing a range of services to people in recovery from alcohol &amp; drug issues and people affected by homelessness. The core event each week is the drop-in facility where people can access a variety of different social care, health care and financial services on a one-stop-shop basis. C &amp; S is a central component of South Ayrshire’s alcohol and drug strategy and implements the Scottish Government Recovery Oriented System of Care (ROSC). C &amp; S won the COSLA Gold Award in 2009 for its innovative practice.
