The Well Communities
Recovery Steps Cumbria is delivered in partnership with The Well Communities, a peer led Lived Experience Recovery Organisation (LERO). The Well provides a range of services and initiatives that support mental health and addiction recovery and minimises the harm caused by problematic alcohol and substance misuse. Their key beneficiaries are drug and alcohol users and their families. They provide housing, hospital and street outreach, therapeutic programmes and activities, through the gate support and peer run community hubs. Much of their work also involves local placed based community activism including initiatives such as a social supermarket and satellite outreach. Over 85 per cent of their staff and volunteers have lived experience of overcoming substance dependence and associated issues such as criminal justice involvement, homelessness and mental health issues, and the majority of them live in the communities they serve.
