| About us | Branching Out at Eva Burrows Hub is here to provide support our community and South Lanarkshire as a whole. We are the first Harm Reduction Hub within South Lanarkshire who strive to provide the best possible service to people who attend the HUB. We have an open-door policy which allows people to use our Service, at any stage of their life journey to visit us for support in a safe and welcoming environment. Our Service aims to support local people (and their families) who use substances (directly or indirectly) and want support, but are isolated, or have disengaged from support and not receiving harm reduction support around drug use, alcohol use and mental health. Branching Out at Eva Burrows Hub, since October 2022 has opened its doors to the community and offers a variety of Groupwork, Drop-In sessions, Safe Spaces, Community Days, Mindfulness Sessions, Harm Reduction, and partnership working opportunities to ensure everyone receives person centred support. The hub is a safe, supportive, and nurturing environment; with specialist support, interventions, and training opportunities; where people can develop resilience, fulfil their potential, and positively change their lifestyle. We are proud to be taking part in the Period Positive Scheme as well as the Condom Distribution Scheme, we are happy to hold discussions around both subjects and provide products where required. |
| Our Wish | Within the Hub we are looking for four computers, four monitors, four keyboards and four computer mice. We are requesting these to enable the local community to access and learn how to use digital devices and be digitally included within the community. We are aware that local community centres, libraries and drop in centres have closed or are closing and the feedback we have received is that there is nowhere for our clients to go and access their Universal Credit Journals, apply for jobs, college etc. We are also working in partnership with Youth Family Community Learning who will be able to then work with us to begin an ICT course for clients to learn IT skills. This can lead to job opportunities and improve mental health and connections within the community. For our clients it is essential for them to be able to access the internet to prevent sanctions on benefits, learn how to attend online recovery groups and gaining further support in their journey through life. |
