📢 Could you help make a difference in East Renfrewshire's recovery community?

A new recovery hub is preparing to open within the Kirkton Annex at Barrhead Health and Care Centre, which will support East Renfrewshire residents in recovery from drug and alcohol use.

A dedicated lived experience group has been at the heart of the project since its formation - the hub has been created by those in recovery for those in recovery.

Now they're inviting anyone who can help the hub become a thriving community-lead resource to get in touch.

Do you have experience supporting recovery communities? Or can you deliver creative or wellbeing activities such as art, music, gardening, creative writing, yoga or mindfulness?

DM us or email Ruth at [email protected]
