Are you a veteran living in or around Chesterfield? We hold monthly get togethers, why not come and join us!

Are you already with the STAND TO Programme, or a member of the Ex Armed Forces Services? Have you an unhealthy relationship with Alcohol? Ready to talk about it?

Join us for a brew and banter with like-minded people.

STAND TO will be holding monthly meeting where there will be offers of help, support and advice to individuals who want to change how they feel about Alcohol. The sessions are conducted in a relaxed and informal manner.

MESS groups will be held on a weekly basis throughout the month at a different venue each week throughout the county approx. 2hrs in duration for each session. These MESS groups could include guest speakers, activities and were deemed appropriate for some relapse prevention work.

This could be a group large group of Veterans or a smaller group depending on levels of confidence and need for the area.  There will be a group to fit all needs, please speak to your keyworker for what is available in your area.

Alongside the MESS groups there will be a calendar timetable of various other activities of one a month as a minimum which will be planned which could last between one half or full day event. We will remain flexible to the needs and interests of individuals attending. The activities will on occasion take place in collaboration with other recovery support partners planned events to help promote wellbeing and potentially decrease isolation.
