2 Pavilions Updates We have moved Richmond House, Richmond Road, Brighton, BN2 3RL is the main office for drop in s and referrals for Pavilions. We re located 2 minutes walk from Lewes Road Sainsbury s on the corner of D Aubingy Road & Richmond Road. Dog Stars! Would you like to see YOUR dog on OUR cover? We are accepting snaps of your pups for future issues! Simply healthpromotion@pavilions.org.uk Donations please Richmond House are looking to make our building even more inviting and so would greatly appreciate any donations of games and books for our Reception area or plants for our private meeting rooms. Please call ahead on if you re planning to drop off any items. Thank you in advance for any and all donations! Drug Alert Anyone using white powder substances needs to be especially careful as there is an influx of white heroin in the city. Please advise people to dab and wait before using as normal and test every new batch. There have been 3 deaths recently in the city caused by snorting heroin. Detox ward closure The Sussex Partnership Foundation Trust has given us notice that as of the end of March they will no longer be providing the substance misuse in-patient hospital detox beds that we commission. We are now working with SPFT and the city s Clinical Commissioning Group to draw up alternatives to meet the needs of these vulnerable people as of April. Everyone who is assessed as needing this service will continue to receive it. It has yet to be established whether this service will be based in the city or elsewhere. Please contact Mike Newman or Kristy Tanner at Pavilions if you have any questions or concerns on

4 Fulfilling Lives: Allotment Gardening Allotment Gardening in Stanmer Park At the Centre for Ecotherapy allotment plot by Stanmer Organics Thursdays 10am to 1pm 09:45 FREE Taxi pick-up from William Collier House on North Road (or other spots in town if needed), leaving Stanmer again at 1pm. Lots of gardening activities to get involved in and learn about. Time to simply relax and enjoy the outdoor space, by a fire or on a walk. Plenty of tea. No prior gardening experience necessary. Join in at any point, drop in and out, no need to attend all the sessions. Easy to call the taxi back into town at any time if you need to leave early. For more info contact Amyas at the B&H Food Partnership: Amyas@bhfood.org.uk

5 Fulfilling Lives: Allotment Gardening A message from Community Gardener, Amyas Gilbert about the fantastic Allotment Gardening Project: I am promoting for the new weekly allotment gardening session for people with multiple and complex needs, delivered by the Brighton & Hove Food Partnership as part of BHT Fulfilling Lives. An important aim of this project is to work with people who often can t take part in similar activities because of their particular needs (e.g. need to drink before or during the session). We really want to enable anyone who s interested to take part, so please get in touch to discuss people s needs. There s no fixed format to the gardening days. The general work is about tending to a fruit and vegetable garden, which can involve lots of different jobs; heavy physical work or much lighter jobs, and creative tasks too. As well as simply sitting by the fire and having a cup of tea and a chat, if that s what s needed. We don t demand that people attend a set number or series of sessions, so people can drop in when it suits them. It s an opportunity for people you work with (and their support/keyworkers) to spend a morning out in the beautiful Stanmer Park, benefiting from the therapeutic effects of the natural world, as well as engaging in some meaningful activity in a safe environment. If you re working with anyone who may be interested, please get in touch to talk about how we can best work with them. I m also keen to come along to team meetings to promote these sessions as well as other ongoing opportunities to volunteer at community gardens in and around town, of which there are plenty. The first session is on Thursday 3rd March and for now is set to run until Thursday 9th June, and will hopefully continue into the summer after that! For further information, you can reach me on , Wednesday- Friday. Amyas Gilbert Community Gardener 5

6 Lunch Positive Lunch Positive is a weekly Friday Lunch Club for people with HIV. The lunch club runs every Friday from 12pm until 3 pm and lunch costs 1.50 (free to people in financial difficulty). The lunch club takes place at: Dorset Gardens Methodist Church, Kemptown Brighton, BN2 1RL The lunch club provides a safe and supportive space for service users to meet, socialise and share peer support. The lunch club is facilitated by a team of volunteers, and service users are given encouragement and support in using the service. We also host outreach visits from other organisations, including Pavilions LGBT Brief intervention. The lunch club is inclusive of all people with HIV. People can join by self-referral on drop in without appointment, or prior referral by a support worker. If people require specific support to use the lunch club this can be discussed at referral or at any time whilst using the service. This respected service is always keen to take on volunteers, if you could spare a few hours each week for Lunch Positive please look at their website for details: 6

8 Recovery, Interventions & Group Work at Pavilions Pavilions provides a variety of group work activities throughout the week for people to explore what works best for them in feeling supported in their recovery. The programmes are built around being; person centred, recovery focussed, building on existing strengths and increasing self reliance. We acknowledge that recovery far extends the time spent working with services and therefore we aim to equip people with the skills to achieve their goals. Group work programs: Springboard is a rolling five day programme designed to introduce service users to the potential and tools of recovery, as well as an introduction to the visible recovery community in Brighton and Hove. Topics covered include; the language of recovery, acknowledging and building on recovery capital and planning short term goals. Forward is a weekly group using Cranstoun s Integrative Recovery model as a means of identifying and developing a bespoke recovery programme meaningful to the individual. This group acknowledges the past but focuses on the present. ACT (Acceptance Commitment Therapy) is a mindfulness based rolling programme which is open to anyone receiving support from Pavilions. This group helps individuals develop coping strategies for managing physical and/ or psychological pain. All of our groups are open to anyone receiving a service from us, regardless of which substance triggered the need for support. You do not have to access the groups sequentially and therefore it is not essential to attend every week. If you would like anymore information regarding our group work sessions please contact Matt, Recovery, Interventions & Group Work Team Leader at

10 Training Updates Alcohol Screening, Brief Advice & Interventions The course equips workers with the knowledge, skills and tools to identify individuals who are drinking at increasing and higher-risk levels and to deliver simple brief advice and interventions. Fri 11th March :30-15:00 Novel Psychoactive Substances (inc. legal highs and club drugs ) This course highlights changing patterns, prevalence and sourcing of substances being used locally and nationally, and aims to increase confidence of professionals working with those who may be using these new psychoactive substances. It develops screening and assessment skills and enables professionals to support service-users via advice and referral to specialist services when relevant. Fri 18th March 09:30-16:30 Ageing & Alcohol The course highlights the potential risks alcohol may cause to the over 50 s age group, and focuses on reducing these potential harms through brief advice and interventions, referring to specialist agencies where appropriate. Wed 24th February :30-14:30 We also offer bespoke training sessions. If your staff team/organisation could benefit from a training session but can t attend one of the set training dates we can come to you for more specialised sessions. We are in the process of developing our training for April 2016-March 2017 and will happily share this with you in due course.
