ERF Recovery Spaces

We have been on a mission to create safe, inclusive and vibrant spaces for people in the recovery community to get together and connect.

The spaces we’ve set-up were created alongside people who are in recovery themselves - and we would love for you to join us!

Scroll down the page to meet the team behind our ERF spaces - and to find out more about our regular meet-ups!

  • First and foremost, a warm welcome! There’ll be good tea and coffee, new activities each week and an opportunity to meet other people in recovery from addiction.

  • We welcome anybody who is in recovery from drug and alcohol addiction - or anybody indirectly affected by addiction. Our spaces are inclusive to the entire recovery community, including people who work within local drug and alcohol services.

  • We’ll be there for two hours - but you can drop in whenever you like and stay for as long as you want.

Our team are passionate about creating welcoming and non-judgemental spaces for the entire recovery community.
