Recovery Organisation Information
Start your recovery journey today...
'The Great Escape' is a community workspace run by Creative Start Arts In Heath CIC for local people that want to find something to do and who are ready to make a change.
The 'Great Escape' is located in the heart of the Heritage Action Zone on Grimsby Docks. The historic building, having been beautifully restored by the recovery community stands as inspiration for what can be achieved by those who choose sober living.
As the home of the 'Black Gull Community Venue', we offer a wide range of activities, including a Recovery Cafe, Sober Events, Creative Workshops, Recovery meetings, and much more.
Additionally, we actively assist community-focused projects by offering flexible space for meetings, workshops, or performances to help them come to fruition.
Creative Start work from a recovery-focused, lived-experience approach. Because of this, they only accept self-referrals.
They believe recovery begins with choice, agency, and willingness. For that reason, they ask that individuals contact them themselves, rather than being referred on their behalf by another service.
If you’re interested in what Creative Start do, the best way to start is to:
Call directly, or attend one of their open meetings every Monday at 11am at The Comeback, and the recovery 'Eat and Meet' every Thursday between 11am and 3pm at the Great Escape, where anyone can just turn up and ask any questions that might be concerning them.
