Visit: Recovery Cafe

I was delighted to visit the Recovery Cafe in my constituency on Friday to meet with Mark and Lorna (pictured) and other staff as well as some of the folks who were attending the drop in this afternoon.

Enjoyed my chat and the cup of tea! It was clear to me that the cafe is greatly appreciated by those who attend, not only as a chance to get together to share experiences, but to have access to vital support and advice. The cafe was launched at the new venue of "The Hut" in November 2020 and although this has certainly been a challenging time to operate they are open 4 days per week (Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday from 10.30am till 2.30pm)

Recovery Enterprises Scotland are an innovative community interest company with a social conscience, aiming to work with communities tackling social issues such as poverty and isolation, and they appear to be reaching a number of individuals not known to services providing support as well as offering volunteering and employment opportunities.

I wish them all the best.
