I’m a Trustee for the above charity, we’re a peer led charity that help people with substance misuse issues.

I’ve a long history of alcohol abuse and I wish I’d heard of RC in the midst of my worse drinking.

I’m currently 8 years sober and volunteering and being a Trustee for this organisation has played a massive part in my recovery.

I want to spread the word about the amazing support we offer as a charity but also offer my support to people that may be struggling.

How to access the services and further information can be found below. Thanks.

Thanks for the kind words all, helping others is a massive part of my recovery, is cathartic, and hopefully makes up for a lot of selfish things I did while drinking.

Brilliant to hear about the work you’ve been doing as a collective and yourself personally.

Hope this post helps others get the help they need.

I had substance issues when I was young and can only speak positively about the work that charities like this do - it really is worth reaching out, no matter what the extent of the problem.
