Cambridgeshire Recovery Service

It is led by people in recovery and open to people in recovery, as well as offering support for friends and family. The service hosts creative workshops, events and weekly recovery cafés.
Cambridgeshire Recovery ServiceCreative Instinct podcast
Cambridgeshire Recovery Service launched this podcast series in 2024. Each episode is made by people navigating their own recovery journey, and explores their insights, as well as topics including mental health, stigma, and the experiences of friends and family members. We hope to educate and enlighten our listeners, and support those who need it.
HEaRT team
Our HEaRT team in Cambridge provides support and assistance to people who are homeless and are struggling with drugs and/or alcohol.
Street outreach
Our Street Outreach Team identifies and works with people over 18 who are sleeping rough in Cambridge. We help them on the street and at the day centre by letting them know about the available support. We start the day at 6am, directing people to places where they can get food, showers and clothing.

The EDGE café
The EDGE café is a social enterprise that promotes community-led recovery to support people to make positive changes in their lives. There are two EDGE cafés in Cambridge, in Brookfields and Fulbourn. They are run by people who are on this journey themselves, alongside our team members and incredible volunteers.

STARS
Short-Term Alcohol Reduction Support (STARS) provides one-to-one support sessions, including a comprehensive assessment to understand your needs and goals. Sessions are usually held within a local GP practice, but we also offer virtual appointments via telephone or Microsoft Teams.
The sessions will explore your lifestyle, address barriers to change and support you to set achievable goals. We provide information on the effects of alcohol and the benefits of moderating your drinking.
