Cumberland Hub
Our Cumberland Hub is a welcoming, recovery focused community space at the heart of the city. It’s a place where people can drop in for connection, support, and a sense of belonging – whether they’re beginning their recovery journey, rebuilding their lives, or simply looking for a friendly, nonjudgemental space.
The hub offers peer support, groups, activities, and practical help, all shaped by the needs of the local community. Everyone is welcome to walk through the door and feel part of something positive.

Latest news from the Cumberland Hub
I completely burnt my life to the ground, lost everything of real value, I don't mean material stuff, I mean my family, and everything else I valued, this brought me to my rock-bottom.
To hide my drinking, I would stay up late and sleep in the spare room. I told myself it was OK because I was still a good provider for the family. When my partner became pregnant with our daughter, I decided to stop drinking. But I was kidding myself.
