ESRA is a recovery hub run by staff with lived experience and volunteers, most of whom are in recovery themselves. 

We provide a drug and alcohol free environment. In our Hastings hub we have a café offering healthy low cost food.

We support the majority of our clients to follow an abstinence-based programme using SMART recovery groups and recovery tools to help to do this.

ESRA clients are supported practically, emotionally, and sometimes even medically. All staff have had first aid training and are also well trained and experienced in safeguarding practice. The safety and well-being of our clients’ mental and physical health is paramount, and we will refer them to other support agencies when necessary.
