Nottingham Recovery Network

🎉 Huge congratulations to our IPS team for achieving an excellent score in their latest quality review!

IPS helps people find and keep employment as part of their recovery journey, providing practical, personalised support to build confidence, develop skills and achieve their goals.

Over the last year alone, the team has helped 37 people in recovery into sustainable employment – a fantastic achievement that reflects their dedication and the positive difference they make every day.

We couldn't be prouder of the team 👏

Happy Black History Month!

This year, we're celebrating the theme Honouring Our Communities by recognising the people who help make support services more inclusive and effective.

We're proud that Al Hurraya is one of our key partners, helping us deliver culturally sensitive support to the people we work with across Nottingham.

Today, and throughout October, we're celebrating our Black and Brown colleagues, clients, partners and communities. Thank you for everything you do to help us reach and support more people on their recovery journey. 💜

As Recovery Month comes to an end, we're revisiting some of the mantras and recovery tips we've shared throughout September.

Thank you for following along, engaging with our stories, and sharing our posts. Sometimes, a single message or prompt can be the first step on someone's recovery journey.

Do you have a favourite recovery mantra? Let us know in the comments 💚

Rock, paper....recovery ✂️✋👊

You don't need a perfect plan. Recovery starts with one small step.

Whether that's a chat, a visit, or reaching out for support, NRN is here when you're ready. 💙

We're proud to be supporting the Women's Rough Sleeping Census this week alongside our partners at Framework and The Health Shop. 💜

Our team regularly joins outreach walks across Nottingham, meeting women where they are and helping connect them with substance use support, healthcare and other vital services. We know that homelessness and substance use are often closely linked, and that many women experiencing rough sleeping are going unseen.

By helping shine a light on hidden homelessness, we can make sure more women get access to the support, treatment and opportunities they need to move forward. 💫

Mixing alcohol and co***ne is common, but many people don't realise that when they're used together, the body produces a substance called cocaethylene, which can increase the risks associated with both drugs.

If you choose to use, try to pace yourself, use less of each substance, stay hydrated and avoid using alone where possible.

Looking for support? We offer free, confidential advice for anyone concerned about their own or someone else's substance use.

Save this post and share it with someone who might find it useful. 💜

"IPS have given me support that helps my mental health, my overall wellbeing and my confidence in returning to work and making it a success"

A job can be so much more than a payslip. We're looking for an IPS Employment Specialist to join our team, supporting people in recovery to find and sustain meaningful employment as part of their journey.

If you believe in the power of work to change lives, we'd love to hear from you.

Last week we were at Crowne Plaza Nottingham sharing what we do with members from more than 20 Rotary clubs across Nottinghamshire. 💜

A huge thank you to Nottingham Rotary for the invitation and for bringing so many people together to learn more about recovery and the support available across Nottingham.

We're also grateful to our partner for helping create opportunities like this.

The more people who know we're here, the more people can access the support they need. And that's a conversation worth having. 🙌

Substance use and su***de are often closely linked. People experiencing drug or alcohol problems are at increased risk of su***de, while families and loved ones can be deeply affected too.

That's why having a conversation, checking in, and seeking support early matters.

This Su***de Prevention Day, let's break the silence.💛
