As part of Recovery Month, St Anne’s Community Services, Likewise and Project 6 came together to take part in a fantastic football tournament held at Bevin Court, Sheffield, on 19th September.

Three amazing teams took to the field, and played some great football and everyone who took part was really proud of being part of such an event. All of the guys taking part were in different stages of recovery but they all stated that events like this were such a big part in their own individual journeys.

Kallum and Ish, who are both staff at Bevin Court, also took part in the games and both had sore legs the day after but said that it was worth the pain to be able to take part and support all the guys from the three projects taking part. A large number of clients from all three services attended to just watch the football and to enjoy the day.

All the players and spectators got together after the football to celebrate with a fantastic meal which was enjoyed by all.

David Peers, Hostel Manager at Bevin Court said:

“During the meal I took the opportunity to talk to all the guys, and they all told me how important it is to come together to share stories about recovery and what it meant to each and everyone, and that they were able to support each other”.

We are so proud of the team at Bevin Court for hosting and supporting the tournament,  and the feedback since the event from our clients has been huge. Well done to everyone.
