In Birkenhead, we run an abstinence project for people with former substance misuse issues and / or mental health issues as well as the Compañeros Crisis Café which aims to divert people away from Accident and Emergency (A&E) and other traditional crisis services by using our dynamic Creative Recovery approach.

Compañeros offers a non-clinical setting to support individuals out of crisis and, when appropriate, engage with the Spider Project’s creative recovery programme and access other support.
