Opening of NEW Recovery Hub & Cafe

Donation protected
My name is Brian Morrison and i am appealing for help to raise urgently needed funds to open a recovery centre & recovery cafe for individuals in recovery from addiction and mental health to have a safe space.

The recovery centre will be for individuals in recovery from addiction and low level mental health, to come together and get support. We will also be running an drop-in, therapy sessions, counselling and 1-2-1 mentoring etc.

The recovery cafe will be open for individuals in recovery to spend an evening out or somewhere to go at the weekend with others also in recovery, without having to be concerned about the possibility of relapse with any alcohol on sale. We are also going to be an completely alcohol free cafe, where nobody under the influence of any substances or smelling of alcohol will be admitted at any times. We are keeping this very strict rule to keep people SAFE while in recovery and this will NOT be changed under any circumstances.

I am in recovery myself and over 9 x years alcohol free following many years of alcohol dependency and being given 6-12 months life expectency back in March 2005, if i continued to drink alcohol as i was.

I now work unpaid (volunteer) 7 x days per week, supporting individuals in recovery, within my organisation "Fingerprints Person Centred Support & Recovery Services CIC" and there are many people who are alone and dont go outdoors, who this recovery centre / recovery cafe will be a lifeline for.

Please help me get this new recovery centre / recovery cafe open in plenty of time to support more people before they relapse and we lose some of them. 

Lets get the doors OPEN and i promise to also give up my entire 2015 to make sure these doors stay OPEN for those who have nobody or struggling in recovery.

We will continue to appeal till we raise the full £5,000 or more,  even if this is after opening, as it will help towards keping it going until we are on our feet and able to find suitable funding or raising enough funds through fundraising and our new charity shop..

Thankyou in advance !!!

Have a really great 2015 xx
