Who are the Active Recovery Service?
We are a local community team made up of Health and Social Care professionals.
Active Recovery is a short-term service which supports people to regain their ability and confidence to do everyday activities.
When your period of support comes to an end with Active Recovery and if you need some ongoing support, there may be a charge. This will be discussed with you.
