How we work
We provide drug and alcohol support for people living in Nottingham City*. Our team is based at Nottingham Wellbeing Hub, on the outskirts of Nottingham City Centre. Our lead partner is Framework.
We run a wide range of services from triage to ongoing recovery support and rehabilitation in the community. We can help with: substance use, physical and mental health issues and homelessness and housing issues. We also offer support for getting back into work.
*To determine that we are the right service for you, please check your local council by entering your postcode here. We are only able to support residents of Nottingham City.
Access
Recovery is a human right and everyone should be able to access recovery support throughout their recovery journey.
Equal
Harm reduction, treatment and recovery support are equally important.
Flexible
Support should be flexible and provided for as long as needed.
Individual
Recovery treatment and support remains with the individual.
Recovery support
Recovery is an individual journey, and it can mean different things to different people.
There are a number of online tools that can help people on their recovery journey. We also run regular groups and offer employment support for people who are being supported by our teams.
Our Academy aims to support individual and collective recovery through learning, training, mentoring and volunteering in a welcoming and supportive environment.
Are you concerned about a friend or family member’s substance use?
We can help you. We offer support to family members, carers and friends of people facing substance use issues.
This could be via one-to-one sessions, group sessions or online support.
🎉💛 A huge WELL DONE & THANK YOU to everyone who made this possible!
The Health Shop threw a celebration at the Wellbeing Hub to mark a major milestone: Hepatitis C has been micro-eliminated across all Nottingham Recovery Network services! 🙌
Every single person accessing our services has been offered testing and, where needed, completed treatment – meaning there are now zero people living with untreated Hep C in our treatment network.
This achievement took 5 years of partnership, dedication, and person-centred care. To our staff, partners, and service users: you are incredible. Together, we’ve made history in Nottingham. 🌟 ... See MoreSee Less

✨ Employment support can be a game-changer in recovery.
At NRN, our New Path to Employment team helps people build confidence, structure, and purpose through meaningful work—one step at a time.
Through our partnership with Framework, Double Impact and the IPS service, individuals in recovery are supported not just into jobs, but into long-term success and wellbeing.
As Erin* shared:
“IPS have given me support that helps my mental health, my overall wellbeing and my confidence in returning to work and making it a success.”
Work can be more than a goal—it can be a key part of the journey. Read Erin's story on our website! ow.ly/tAQT50WpIHj💼💙

Not our normal 9-5...but we sure loved it! 🏳️🌈
Saturday was NRN's first official attendance at the Notts Pride parade and we enjoyed every second. From marching in the parade to chatting to all of you at our stall, it was a pleasure to celebrate the people that make our city so vibrant and full of love. 💜
We're already looking forward to next year 🎉 ... See MoreSee Less

🛩️ Up, up, and away—for a great cause! 🛩️
On 8th August, our brilliant supporter John is taking on a unique (and slightly terrifying!) challenge: a wing walk at Wickenby Aerodrome - all to raise money for our lead partner, Framework Charity 💙
Yes, that’s right—John will be strapped to the top of a plane, soaring through the sky, all to support people experiencing homelessness and disadvantage.
It's a cause close to his heart. His partner has worked with us at NRN for over 20 years, and he lives just across the road from one of Framework's housing projects—seeing daily how life-changing our services can be

✨Fundraiser Spotlight! ✨
One of our very own colleagues, Jordanne, is running the Robin Hood half marathon this September to raise money for NRN. 🏃♀️
In her own words: "Let’s be clear - I am not a runner. In fact, the idea of running 13.1 miles is somewhere between hilarious and horrifying. But I wanted to do something that would challenge me in a way that might help me - and others - understand how our clients are challenged every day: pushing forward even when things feel impossible."
We're so grateful to everyone who chooses to fundraises for us, and sounds like Jordanne needs all the encouragement she can get! (swipe to slide 6...😬)
Donate to her page below and help us help more people in our city. 🧡
