The Well Communities CiC

The Well is a not-for-profit community interest company founded in 2012 by ex-offender and former drug addict, David Higham. With hubs in Barrow, Morecambe and Lancaster as well as sites in Kendal and Fleetwood, we help people recover from drug and alcohol addiction. We offer a range of high-quality services which are available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Support is free to members and is provided by staff and volunteers with 'lived experience' of addiction. The team also specialises in providing support to people with mental health issues, offending behaviour, childhood trauma, learning difficulties, domestic abuse and homelessness.
Over the last four years, we’ve become a well-known and highly respected service provider in Cumbria and north Lancashire. Of those who've used our services, 69% have remained abstinent for six months or more.
We've found that our passionate and unique way of working has helped people into recovery where other services have failed.
