The Recovery Support Service (RSS) is a day service for people living with a mental health condition. We offer support and help so you can make changes in your life to improve your health and wellbeing. We have a hopeful and non- judgmental approach that gives you choice and control

We work with you to offer an individualised programme of support to help you at each stage of your recovery. The service can lead on to other opportunities including volunteering, paid employment and education.
