Description

The Scheme Livi was built from lived experience of addiction, trauma, recovery, and everything in between. We know the system doesn’t always work for everyone, so we’re creating something different: a space that’s real, creative, and rooted in community. These values guide everything we do.

Free access to group creative workshops, to support anyone impacted by addiction, trauma, mental health, social isolation or social deprivation.
