Trevi … is truly unique, working with highly stigmatised and traumatised women in a way that supports their dignity. Its approach is incredibly innovative, human and compassionate while delivering highly effective results – improving lives while saving public money in the longer term. By allowing women with difficult backgrounds of substance abuse to live with their children throughout the recovery process, Trevi improves outcomes for both mothers and children.

Before I came to Sunflower I was extremely anxious and didn’t get out much. I have found Sunflower a breath of fresh air! Everyone is so welcoming and I am keen to try lots of new things and meet like-minded people. Thank you to everyone who makes this all possible, you are all wonderful.
