02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
Freedom Fighters Community Action Initiative exists to support people whose lives have been affected by addiction, trauma and the challenges that often accompany them. Our aim is to help people move towards recovery, improved wellbeing, greater stability and positive involvement in their families and communities. We do this through our Trauma Recovery Hub in Ardrossan, providing one-to-one counselling, recovery and wellbeing support, coaching, peer support, groups, workshops and training. We also provide drop-in support, social and community activities, recovery programmes and signposting to other appropriate services. We work alongside individuals at different stages of recovery, helping them address underlying issues, develop resilience and practical life skills, build healthy relationships and support networks, and make lasting positive changes.
