This service will be open to adults who are moving on from the therapy they have received from services in the Avon and Somerset sexual violence services pathway. There is currently an 'Active Recovery' community, based in the Bristol area, providing joy, connection, grounding, compassion, safety and the opportunity to learn new skills. It is founded upon the principles of co-production and peer support. Based at The Southmead Project, the Active Recovery Project (ARP) is Bristol's first free, trauma-informed, multi-activity intervention. It offers its Members experiential support that enables them to practise new ways of being. This "embodying of recovery" is rarely available in UK recovery services. ARP seeks to enable Members to develop peer support networks, increase their physical and mental wellbeing, and continue their ongoing recovery by participating in weekly sport, exercise and other community-based activity sessions. The project has been very positively evaluated. The future service will build upon this success and help participants to build trust, develop a range of skills, and establish connections to help reduce isolation. The service will act as a resource for the whole Avon & Somerset sexual violence therapeutic pathway and accept appropriate referrals from all partner organisations. The service will reach a minimum of 80 participants a year (40 in 'Avon' and 40 in Somerset). The services will be for people aged 18 and over. The contract will commence on 1st October 2024. The contract will expire on 30th September 2029. Those delivering the services must be qualified and registered with the relevant bodies, such as the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

This exercise is being carried out by NHS South, Central and West Commissioning Support Unit (SCW) on behalf of the Commissioner. Additional information: The Specification can be found in Atamis (see details below for access), along with a Most Suitable Provider Questionnaire which requires completion in order to express interest.
