What has been a recent success?
Continuing to provide services to the community amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. Recovery Connections Enterprise Ltd. has continued to grow – from launching Bloom Florists in May 2020, an additional business to its offering, and welcoming a new General Manager to the team at the beginning of September 2020, there is a lot of work going on in the background to make strategic changes to drive the service offering forward. The businesses also provided a free meal service for vulnerable people across Middlesbrough at the beginning of 2021, and also in the week leading up to Christmas 2020 in partnership with Middlesbrough & Stockton Mind to aid Ageing Better Middlesbrough.
