A superlative and much-needed service, for me and others

"A superlative and much-needed service, for me and others"

About: Inclusion Recovery Hampshire / Aldershot

(as a service user),

I have been attending Inclusion in Alershot for some time now, and have found my regular meetings - Stepping Stones on Mondays, and Wednesday pm ACT (?) - to be really valuable, especially Pete's Monday meetings as it really sets me up well for the week ahead.

Yesterday, Pete really excelled himself: whilst admitting to not exactly being a techy, he successfully set up a complete Stepping Stones meeting online, which is exactly what I needed.

It gave me (again) a great start to the week; the chance to speak to other addicts/alcoholics; and to reconnect with the people I had got to know face to face.

I don't know how long it took to organise, but Pete invited me by email, called me on Sunday to remind me, and ran the meeting brilliantly under very different circumstances.

All in all, I am grateful for his service during lockdown as I am also grateful to the whole of Inclusion Aldershot and the NHS in too.

Thank you very much for your recent feedback. I am delighted that you have found the Stepping Stones group and ACT so valuable in your recovery.

I'm also really pleased that you were able to engage in the online group and reconnect with some of the other service users who you had got to know. Inclusion are very keen to offer different ways to support our service users during this very difficult time for everyone, using the resources we have available and I'm glad that this way of working has been beneficial to you.

I will pass on your comments to Pete and the Aldershot Team and I wish you all the very best in your continued recovery. Keep safe and well.
