Phoenix events plus news from across the Doncaster recovery community.
The Community page is where Phoenix shares two things: upcoming events we’re running or partnered on, and recent news from across the recovery, mental health and family-support world. Events are the things to put in your diary. The news section pulls live from the services and charities we work alongside, so this page updates itself.
If you’ve got an event you’d like Phoenix to share, or a service whose news feed isn’t here yet, tell us.
Every donation makes a difference. Your support helps provide dignity, compassion and hope to vulnerable people across Doncaster.
Get in touch to donateWe'd be hugely grateful for your support. Read our letter below to see the work we do and how donations help, then get in touch to arrange a drop-off or collection.
To Whom This May Concern,
I hope this letter finds you well.
My name is Ryan Bratby and I am the founder of Phoenix Recovery Mindset, a lived experience recovery project based in Doncaster. We work alongside local organisations and services to help individuals affected by addiction, homelessness, poor mental health and social isolation access the support they need.
We are currently supporting individuals attending sessions at Wharf House & Open House in Doncaster, many of whom are experiencing homelessness, financial hardship and complex life challenges.
One thing we have learned quickly is that food and basic essentials help create trust, dignity and engagement. A warm drink, a sandwich or a small food parcel can often be the difference between someone accepting support or walking away from it.
We are therefore reaching out to local businesses and supermarkets to ask whether you would consider supporting this work through donations of:
Any support, regardless of size, would be genuinely appreciated and would go directly towards supporting vulnerable members of our local community.
Phoenix Recovery Mindset is built on personal experience and community connection. Our mission is simple: helping people get to the right room quicker and ensuring nobody has to face their struggles alone.
I would welcome the opportunity to discuss how your business could become involved and would be happy to collect any donations personally.
Thank you for taking the time to read this letter and for everything you already do to support our local community.
Yours faithfully,
Ryan Bratby
Founder, Phoenix Recovery Mindset
