How we make it a safe space
Every group provides a safe space where you’re never expected to discuss your experiences, though staff and volunteers are always available if you’d like to chat. You don’t need to be drug or alcohol free to participate — we just ask that you help us create a warm and welcoming environment by coming along in a fit state to participate.
