Our Active Recovery members recently had a great session foraging! We made tea with our finds and called it our Fiercely Compassionate tea after the Hawthorn berries we foraged.

We finished up by toasting marshmallows on a fire and even made s'mores. Delicious!

Our Active Recovery members went gig-rowing again recently! Being able to try out activities more than once can build people's confidence and allow them to feel more relaxed and comfortable at our groups.

We were so impressed with how oar-some they are!! 🚣🧡

We did a harbourside walk this week with our lovely Active Recovery members and combined it with some fish and chips ⛵️

We went on The Matthew, completed part of a treasure hunt, found a geo cache and finally sheltered in the M Shed when the inevitable rain appeared!

Our Active Recovery members did a collaging workshop at the Arnolfini. We had a look round the Threads exhibition and used it as inspiration.

We love how different the art was - our members are so creative!

​Thank you for taking an interest in our work!

We had a wonderful cooking workshop SquareFoodFoundation recently with our Active Recovery members! 

On the menu was jerk chicken or tofu, and a delicious apple and almond cake. We picked tomatoes straight from the vine in their garden to make a super fresh salsa. Absolutely delicious!

Our Active Recovery members recently went on another foraging session with the fantastic Maria from Healing Weeds.

The sun shone as we learned about natural remedies in the world around us and gathered together to make an infusion. It tasted pleasantly earthy and green!

Our Active Recovery members recently went on a lovely walk in Snuff Mills. We chatted and watched dragonflies flutter, and ate the most enormous ice creams and picked blackberries. Summery bliss!
