💙 A Massive Thank You to Quickline! 💙

We would like to say a huge thank you to Quickline for their generous funding and for donating two tablets to help support our project!

This kind of support makes a real difference to the work we do within our community. The tablets will provide valuable resources to help people access digital opportunities, develop new skills and engage with the support and services available to them.

From everyone involved in our project, thank you, Quickline, for believing in what we do and helping us turn opportunities into reality!

Today was a chance to talk openly about addiction, recovery and why this work means so much to us.

We shared lessons from supporting others, alongside our own experiences of addiction and finding a way forward. Honest conversations like these make room for the parts people don’t always hear about, the struggles, the setbacks and the possibilities that recovery brings.

There’s still plenty of stigma around addiction. Sharing lived experience can help people look beyond assumptions and see the person, their story and their potential.

We know how much it can mean to have someone in your corner, especially when you’re struggling to see a future for yourself. We’ve experienced the difference that support can make, and it’s why we keep doing what we do.

A huge thank you to the Evan Cornish Foundation and the Randal Foundation for supporting this work.

Every conversation is a chance to build understanding and show that recovery is possible.

Sawdust, teamwork and a fair bit of laughter at The Unit today! 🪚

The lads have been busy with their woodworking projects, putting their skills into practice and giving each other a hand when the tricky bits needed a second pair of eyes.

It’s lovely watching ideas turn into something they can be proud of, with everyone bringing their own approach to the work.

There’s still plenty to finish and more ideas waiting in the wings.

A cracking Tuesday spent learning, making and enjoying being together.

Exciting News – We've Received Funding!
We are incredibly grateful to Wakefield Council Culture Grants for supporting our upcoming creative arts project!
Through our work with people in recovery, we have seen first-hand the powerful impact that creative writing and art can have on people's lives.
Creativity provides an opportunity for individuals to express themselves, explore emotions, build confidence and discover new ways of supporting their recovery journey.
We truly believe that recovery is about more than overcoming addiction – it's about rediscovering yourself, finding purpose and creating a brighter future.
We are so excited to get this project underway and provide more opportunities for people to experience the positive impact of creativity.

A huge thank you to Wakefield Council for believing in our vision and helping us make a difference in our community.

Tuesday at The Unit saw the lads getting stuck into their woodworking projects, with plenty on the go in the workshop.

It’s good to see everyone putting their skills to use, helping each other out and working through the fiddly bits together. There’s something satisfying about seeing a project take shape and knowing you’ve made it yourself.

A few projects are still underway, and there’s no shortage of ideas for what to tackle next. No shortage of banter either—although we’re still working out whether that helps or slows things down! 😂

Time spent making things, building on what we’ve learnt and enjoying good company. A Tuesday well spent.

🪪 Small Steps, Big Progress in Recovery! 💙

Over the last few weeks, our Life Skills groups at Reflections Yorkshire CIC have been focusing on the importance of having identification (ID).

Having essential documents such as a passport or driving licence is an important step towards independence and reintegration back into the community.

Without ID, accessing employment, housing, banking and education can become a real challenge.

Recovery is about more than overcoming addiction. It's about rebuilding lives, breaking down barriers and creating opportunities for a better future.

Through our Life Skills programme, we're helping individuals take those important steps forward. 💙

A lovely trip to Hope Valley yesterday. Beautiful views and great memories.

02/10/2026

Today we’ve got Liver Buddies and the Hep C team here with us, raising awareness, offering support and helping people look after their health.

Recovery isn’t only about stopping drinking or using drugs. It’s also about learning to look after yourself again physically, mentally and emotionally.

Small steps matter. Looking after yourself is recovery too. 💙

Today at The Unit has been all about getting stuck into the woodworking projects.

There’s always something being made, repaired or worked on, and it’s great seeing the lads getting hands-on and learning new skills along the way.

From working with tools and materials to figuring things out as they go, the projects give everyone a chance to learn, build confidence and, most importantly, see something taking shape because of their own hard work.

There’s still plenty more to come, with a few projects already underway and lots of ideas for what we can create next.
And judging by the amount of banter in the workshop, we’re definitely getting the full experience!

Skills, teamwork, creativity and something tangible to show for it at the end of the day. That’s what The Unit is all about.
