Our Current Work
Nightingales CIC
Nightingales Recovery Café and Discovery Academy is a vibrant community hub in the centre of Birkenhead, in Wirral. Established over four years ago, the café and academy are at the heart of the local recovery community and have become a vital resource for many of the most vulnerable drug and alcohol users in Wirral.
Just Good Friends
Just Good Friends has been set up to combat loneliness and social isolation by bringing people together in friendship with events, weekly meetings and one to one phone calls, making sure no-one is ever on their own again. This is something we feel passionately about and wanted to assist.
