What would the Café be?
Somewhere people can come and talk in confidence A safe place for addicts to come. A place where you can seek help and
other services Warm & Friendly place to be able to come and chat. A place to come and
know that you are not alone – similar issues To meet people of the same frame of mind, in recovery or through recovery
and clean! A safe, calm meeting place for people in recovery and perhaps run
computer classes, health and wellbeing access to services For people to be able to open up and discuss issues without feeling
embarrassed. Someone listening, counselling, support. I would like the recovery café to be a place where I can meet people in the
same boat as me
