Why donate to Phoenix?

Phoenix Recovery Hub is run by people in recovery, for people in recovery and the families around them. We don’t take a salary. Donations don’t pay anyone’s wages, they go directly into work that reaches people in Doncaster who don’t know where to turn.

Where your money goes

• Awareness materials: leaflets, posters and QR-code campaigns placed where people in active addiction actually go (GP surgeries, pharmacies, food banks, supported accommodation).
• Community outreach: showing up at recovery events, speaking in schools and prisons, running stalls at community days.
• Family support work: building out the resources and signposting on this site for the people behind the person.
• Keeping the platform running: hosting, the directory data, future features (a mobile app, a peer-to-peer recovery feed, a recovery coach chatbot for 3am moments).

How to donate

Online donations through PayPal Giving Fund will go live once charity registration is in place. Until then, the simplest way to support Phoenix financially is via Ryan’s Three Peaks fundraiser, which goes to Addiction Family Support, our partner charity.

If you’d like to make a direct donation to Phoenix Recovery Hub, or you’re a business interested in sponsoring our work, get in touch and we’ll talk through the options. We can arrange a bank transfer or set up regular giving.

Other ways to support us

If money isn’t what you can give right now, that’s fine. Every one of these matters:

• Share the directory. If you know someone struggling, or supporting someone who is, send them the link. phoenixrecoveryhub.co.uk/local-services is a free 145-service directory; the more people who use it, the more useful it gets.
• Volunteer your skills. We’re always looking for people with lived experience to help with peer support, writing, social media, photography, or running stalls at events. Drop us a line.
• Follow and share on social. Find us on Facebook. A like or a share costs nothing and helps the algorithm push us to people who need this.
• Tell a service we exist. If you work in a GP surgery, a pharmacy, a community group, a school or a charity, mention Phoenix to colleagues. We’ll send free leaflets or QR posters to anywhere they’ll be useful.
• Run something. Inspired by Ryan’s Three Peaks? Bake sales, sponsored walks, raffles, head-shaves, all of it counts. Let us know what you’re planning and we’ll help promote it.

A note on charity status

Phoenix Recovery Hub is a community project at the moment, not yet a registered charity. We’re working through the registration process and will update this page once we have a charity number, which will unlock Gift Aid, easier corporate giving, and PayPal Giving Fund. In the meantime, every donation is used directly for the work above and we’re happy to provide a receipt.

Thank you. Whether you donate, share, volunteer, or just read this far, you’re part of why this exists.
