Running since May 2013, the Recovery Life Café (RLC) offers an alcohol-free alternative to the local night-time economy in East Dunbartonshire. It allows people to spend time with their family in a supportive and alcohol-free environment. with the option to engage with recovery services at the same time. The initiative began in response to service user consultation in December 2012 which identified that people struggled with their substance misuse out with traditional service hours such as evenings and weekends. In 2018 we became a registered charity and since returning from COVID in 2023 we have opened our doors to all people especialliy those who have experienced isoltaion as well as other mental health issues. The evenings offer healthy homemade food, entertainment, information on local services and a chance to socialise in a ‘safe’ environment.
