Community Project
Inspirit
"To provide genuine opportunities for any person where substance use has been a problem."
Who We Help, Why We Help & the Difference It Makes
Our Mission
Our mission is to provide genuine opportunities for life improvement and enrichment for any person or community where substance use has been a problem. We see the complex relationship between drugs or alcohol and mental health, trauma, domestic violence, homelessness and offending and recognise that there are no quick fixes.
Our vision
Our vision is for realistic and meaningful alternatives to substance use and related issues. We want to see effective support for the different communities affected by drugs and alcohol, that enables sustainable change, through practical learning, personal growth and social engagement leading to long term employment or other rewarding occupations. We want to see improved services and aftercare with diverse user groups at the centre of this.
Our values
From our own lived experience we know the importance of installing hope, of not giving up on people, of inviting self-curiosity, of working together to amplify unheard voices. We recognise nuance, support courage and offer a secure base with the freedom to fail. Seeds of change can take time to germinate, and we will offer the conditions that allow for growth.

Co-production:
As a service user-led organisation, Inspirit have become experts in helping local authorities and organisations in all aspects of service user involvement, participation and coproduction. Inspirit have developed a unique process oriented model that enables organisations to analyse how they are managing service user involvement and allows them to maximise the quality and level at which they are doing it. A good strategy for well-managed participation improves service outcomes, service-client communication and relationships, makes providers more attractive to commissioners and creates positive life chances for service users. We are here to assist you with all your coproduction needs.
Inspirit are currently developing a curriculum that will lead to the first specific accreditation in participation.

Trauma and Psychologically Informed Programmes:
Inspirit believes passionately that service users have a much greater chance of success when they come to understand themselves within a psychologically informed framework. Therapeutic outcomes can be achieved from educational aims.
Inspirit’s founder members designed, developed and delivered the innovative NEXT Project which was the first ever programme for former clients of drug & alcohol services to become project workers in the field. The programme combined professional training with deep, personal development opportunities and learning. Inspirit have many years experience in developing psychologically informed programmes. All staff work with an awareness of the impact of trauma on behviour, we work with individuals, seeking to support understanding of how best to manage physical and psychological responses.
“People don’t need to be saved or rescued – people need knowledge of their own power and how to access it”
