Sept. 17, 2024 – A woman who dedicated 25 years to supporting people with drug and alcohol issues has been honoured with a new social enterprise cafe in Stoke-on-Trent. Mrs Oliver established BAC rehabilitation centre in Burton-upon-Trent in 1998 and opened similar recovery cafes in the Staffordshire town and Wigan. The rehab service and WithYou charity have worked in partnership with Stoke-on-Trent City Council to deliver this new social enterprise.
Cafe staff, a majority of whom are recovering from drug and alcohol addiction, served more than 2,000 customers during the opening weekend.
“Seeing the people who work here with their heads high, learning new skills and having that opportunity to reconnect with the community – it’s amazing!” said Mrs Gray.
