Feel let down by removal of bus ticket refund scheme

"Feel let down by removal of bus ticket refund scheme"

About: Ashley House / Recovery service

(as a service user),

All my experience in here have been positive, with group and other service user activities.

But I feel let down badly by the withdrawal of the bus ticket refund scheme, in the past it has helped a great deal to know you would get your money back for travelling to and from wherever the group was held, but now it has been stopped.

I feel that a large number of service users will not be able to afford to travel here any more and that is of great detriment to their recovery.

It's my job to ensure that Ashley House is a safe and effective service that offers a warm and friendly space in which people can consider their experience with drugs and or alcohol and plan their future direction.
