East Sussex Recovery Alliance

ESRA delivers its services from 2 Recovery Hubs located in Eastbourne and Hastings. 

Our clients can expect:

• Support from staff who have lived experience. A  program of recovery support is offered and designed in collaboration with the clients
• Clients are able to access a free  range of therapy groups and social activities (art, fishing, yoga etc.), health checks, self-development courses, and face to face appointments.

• Clients can be signposted  to other resources  relating to advice and treatment, support for wellbeing, and skills and employment services.
• The hubs are an alcohol and drug free safe space in which to have snacks and nutritious meals in the company of others with lived experience.

In 2022 ESRA supported 250 individuals across both hubs in Eastbourne and Hastings, which included a small 3% of clients who live in the rural areas of East Sussex. This is where we will focus our next piece of work   

People reported that when they are attending our SMART  recovery groups they want to make a change.

We offer peer led support groups and activities in the community. Many of our staff, volunteers and members are in recovery from substance misuse and our overall aim is to guide and support people and families who want to make real changes in their lives.
