Busy day today with Rosie, Jodie and Nicola spending time at the East Ayrshire Playday 😊 lots of stress balls and fidget spinners, not to mention the treats 😊 The kids are having an absolute ball.
Yesterday we welcomed Nicola to our team as a Recovery worker, Nicola is no stranger to East Ayrshire and will be an asset to our service 😊 It won’t be long before you see her out and about in the rural areas.
Today is also a special day as we celebrate Jodie’s 12 years in recovery 💫 Jodie joined us after successfully completing the SDF traineeship and spent her first few months with us in lockdown. jodie has gone from strength to strength and is an absolute inspiration to all of us and we are proud to congratulate her on her amazing recovery milestone ⭐️

Big thanks to Scotland Seniors! ⚽

The over-50s football team has donated £500 to WithYou after last month's Four Nations tournament in Largs, raised by auctioning a shirt signed by England star Jude Bellingham.

The donation was presented to Claire and Johnny from our South Ayrshire team, and will help us provide extra support for people in our Ayrshire services.

A brilliant example of the local community coming together to make a difference. Thanks to everyone at Scotland Senior Football Team for thinking of us.

Asking for help with drugs or alcohol shouldn't mean losing your dignity.

You have the right to be treated with respect, to be listened to, and to have a say in your own care. These rights are set out in Scotland's Charter of Rights for People Affected by Substance Use, and you can now read exactly what they mean for you on our website.

Not sure where to start? Our team is here for you.

The final whistle has blown. The group chats have gone quiet. The weeks of late nights, big emotions, and social plans built around the World Cup are coming to an end.

For a lot of people, that shift can feel a bit disorienting and challenging.

If you've been drinking more than usual, or using substances to keep the energy going, you're not alone.

There's no judgement here. But if you're wondering how to reset, or if the last few weeks have left you feeling like things got a bit out of hand, we're here to help you figure out your next step. 💪

Looking after our health is something many of us do without thinking twice. 💭

We book appointments, attend screenings and notice when something doesn't feel quite right. But how often do we stop and think about our relationship with alcohol?

This , we're encouraging people to treat checking in on their drinking like any other health check.

Alcohol can affect much more than our physical health. It can influence our sleep, mood, energy levels and overall wellbeing.

Taking a few minutes to understand your drinking patterns can help you build a clearer picture of your health and decide if there are any changes you'd like to make. 💙
