Money is tight and the price of things just keeps going up. It can be hard to know who to turn to when we need a bit of advice and support. This is where our Community Welfare Champion service comes in. Whether it is housing issues, finding out what benefits you are entitled to, challenging a decision or accessing your DWP messages, we can help.
Our Champion will help you understand the issue, help you prepare and connect you with the right people at the right time to get the best help for you.
ACDI believes in including the people we help in finding solutions to their challenges. We explain every step of the way, helping our clients understand the system, building confidence and helping to find that light at the end of the tunnel. We work closely with other agencies and organisations to find you the very best people to get you the support you need. Even if you are not sure about benefits or any other money issue, we can help you identify the real issues, help get you prepared and support you to get back on your feet.

You can arrange to meet Steven in The Boswell Centre, Auchinleck or at one of his outreach sessions in various community venues around the local area, details of which can be found on our weekly schedule.
We support individuals in recovery in a range of ways.
Since I started as ACDI Recovery’s Peer Support Worker in March 2022, The Boswell Centre has become a well known place for people to come and seek advice on addictions and to access crucial services, either for themselves or for their families. To date we have engaged with over 154 people in the community, many of which now attend our weekly groups, which are hosted at The Boswell Centre or The Knowe Garden Centre. We hope that by continuing our work we are able to reduce stigma and support those in their recovery.
Join us for our weekly gatherings and occasional outings to external events.
Anyone in various stages of recovery, sharing their stories and empowering each other.
In the final hour of the group we have meditation and Acudetox, which is an excellent programme to help aid recovery, benefits include:
Rolls, tea and coffee provided. This group allows everyone to share their experiences. We quite often have guest speakers in to give talks and also various other organisations, eg. Home Energy Scotland, NHS Oral Health, amongst other groups which might be relevant to the recovery community. We often discuss our future events here, so it's a great place to get involved and share any ideas!
This is a port-a-cabin in the gardens of The Knowe Garden Centre which has been transformed into a safe haven for those who just want time to
themselves. The ideal spot for privacy if you want some peaceful time to care for your wellbeing. This group are also involved in various activities in the garden and local communities.
We also regularly arrange days out across
Ayrshire as well as holding events such as 'Recovery Together' at our home base at The Boswell Centre.
