Commissioning of Lived Experience Led Recovery and Community Support Services
Description: The services will form part of North East Lincolnshire's recovery community, providing support for substance use, aiding long-term recovery, and strengthening people's physical and mental wellbeing. This will ensure that recovery is visible, celebrated, and embedded across the area, helping to reduce stigma and strengthen clear, accessible recovery pathways. The services will deliver tailored interventions that address substance use, promote social inclusion, and improve overall wellbeing.
