Staff from Path to Recovery and SMART have joined together to create a safe space for vulnerable women once a week in the evening to provide support in the Bedford area.
Kate's Place takes place in a safe environment where only female staff are present and only females are allowed on site during that time. The team are aiming for it to be a one stop shop for the women to attend and receive support from SMART for housing and general support needs, P2R for drug and alcohol support (naloxone and Needle exchange), Opiate substitution therapy, Blood borne virus screening and treatment, sexual health screening and treatment, physical health concerns and mental health support.
As well as providing professional services we also include different activities for the women to join in with if they wish;
- Manicures
- Karaoke
- Movie nights
- Snacks
- Tea and Coffee
- Jewellery making
- And we are hoping to introduce more activities as time goes on!
Kate’s place is being offered as a space for women to attend to receive all of the relevant support in a safe and confidential environment. The women that do wish to attend or you would wish to refer to us do not have to be previously known to any of our services.
If anyone has any additional questions or queries please do feel free to email the following email addresses and one of the team members will get back to you.
