Today, 16 April, marked an exciting first for Rehabit, as we hosted our debut table at Islington’s Access Hub, 222 Upper Street — a significant step in our wider community engagement plan.
From now on, we’ll be attending the Hub every fortnight, forming a consistent presence within the borough. This initiative is part of a broader commitment to embed ourselves more deeply into the local community, with ongoing attendance at drop-in sessions, food banks, residential centres, hostels, and local events across Islington.
Our aim is simple yet vital: to raise awareness and gently guide those in need toward the support we offer. By being present in these spaces, we hope to identify and signpost individuals who may benefit from our in-house counselling and peer support services — particularly those who do not require detox but are seeking meaningful change.
This is not about delivering on-the-spot advice or immediate interventions. It’s about listening, informing, and connecting people with appropriate support when the time is right. We look forward to meeting more members of the community in the coming weeks and building trust, one conversation at a time.
