IN A SMALL QUAINT CAFE (WOODWORKS ART CAFE, LOWESTOFT)AN IDEA WAS SHARED BY OUR THREE FOUNDERS, IT WAS JUST AFTER THE PANDEMIC, ALL THE FUNDING FOR ARTISTS AND CREATIVITY HAD BEEN CUT AND CREATIVES WERE ISOLATED. THERE WAS NO OUTLET FOR OUR COMMUNITY IN RECOVERY OF CREATIVE MUSICIANS AND SINGERS. SO WHEN VENUES WERE THEN ALLOWED TO REOPEN AND OUR FOUNDERS CREATED SUFFOLK SOBER SPACES …….
WERE PASSIONATE, MOTIVATED AND CARE ABOUT INDIVIDUALS IN RECOVERY FROM ADDICTION TO ANYTHING THING INCLUDES MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES, DOMESTIC VOILENCE AND WELCOME FAMILIES OF ADDICTS OR PEOPLE WHO WANT TO BENEFIT FROM DEVELOPING CONFIDENCE & CREATIVITY IN A SOBER AND SAFE ENVIRONMENT.
