What a difference a tea makes.

A cup of tea might not look like much. But to someone fighting addiction, it can be life changing.

That first step through the doors of a drug service can be a very hard one. When drugs have become the centre of your life, it’s almost impossible to imagine a life without them.

That’s why, when people take that step and come into the Society of St James’ drug services, we make them a cup of tea. It’s a way to make them feel welcome, comfortable, and that bit more relaxed. People chat more easily over a cup of tea.

A nice cup of tea can make a big difference.

And that chat gives us a chance to find out about the struggles that someone is facing, and the support that they need. From there, we can help them to come off drugs altogether.

Can you help people take steps away from addiction by donating £3 to buy a box of tea bags?
