About

Project 6 supports people wherever they are in their recovery. Its harm reduction services include needle and syringe programmes and naloxone training, and the Third Place drop-in in Keighley offers a welcoming space. In hospitals, the MAST partnership, ASIST at Airedale General Hospital and a mentoring service for people over 50 help those affected by drug and alcohol use. Families are supported through Fresh Start for mothers in Sheffield and the Family Support Service, young people through RISE, and people in recovery through the Structured Recovery Programme, Sober Social in Doncaster and The ARC recovery community in Sheffield.
