NHSGGC0851 Recovery Services - Prison and Community Events

The commissioned service will employ 1 x WTE Prison Recovery Worker who will establish, develop and facilitate recovery cafes within prison establishments that service Glasgow City’s population, and support people to engage with community opportunities on liberation. The focus primarily will continue to be on housing needs, recovery supports and volunteering/ employability opportunities. The target population will continue to be prisoners with alcohol and/or drug problems serving sentences <2 years or those nearing the end of a longer sentence.

The commissioned service will promote and deliver a diverse calendar of alcohol and drug free events and occasions across Glasgow. This work will promote city-wide understanding of national /local outcomes and build city-wide and extra-locality relationships amongst participants. The supplier will co-ordinate and provide visible alcohol and drug free events citywide to improve recovery outcomes for individuals as well as influence societal “norms”, thereby reducing stigma associated with alcohol and drug use.
