We’re excited to launch our new 12‑week Reclaim & Rebuild programme — a supportive, trauma‑informed space designed to help individuals strengthen their recovery, rebuild confidence, and develop practical skills for everyday life.
This programme covers:
• Healthy relationships & communication

After a busy morning supporting our communities, team ACDI (Auchinleck Community Development Initiative enjoyed a well‑deserved break together. We took a few hours to relax over a lovely buffet lunch and share some laughs during our Secret Santa.
Moments like these remind us how important it is to look after one another, celebrate our hard work, and stay connected as a team.

🌲Merry Christmas everyone🌲

💜💜A Huge Thank You to The Killie Community💜💜
Today we were delighted to receive 50 comfort boxes from The Killie Community.
Our team spent the morning distributing them to individuals and families in need across the Auchinleck community, ensuring they reached those who could benefit most. We also passed a number of boxes on to Netherthird Community Centre.who will continue sharing them with local residents.
Acts of kindness like this make a real difference, especially at this time of year. We’re grateful for the support and proud to work alongside partners who share our commitment to community wellbeing.

Today we had the pleasure of welcoming the lovely Jane from Visage Beauty to ACDI Recovery! She treated some of our ladies and Kerr to eyebrow waxing, with Kerr stealing the show by proving it’s not just for the ladies🥰
This is the first of many visits we have planned with Jane, each offering a different treatment. We cannot thank her enough for her kindness and generosity in supporting our recovery community. 💜💜

Grief never leaves us😪

This week is Grief Awareness Week, and a chance to recognise how any type of loss can affect our wellbeing.

There’s no right or wrong way to feel — grief affects everyone differently.

If you're finding things difficult, there’s support that can help.

Yesterday a few of us enjoyed a lovely morning at Dumfries House making Christmas decorations! Since September, we’ve been working with Trellis Scotland on gardening workshops and exploring the beautiful Dumfries Estate gardens. A huge thank you to Joan Wilson from Trellis for welcoming ACDI Recovery over the past few months. and we look forward to working with Joan again soon.

We’ve discovered a new passion for gardening — its therapeutic benefits are helping us grow in recovery as much as in the garden.
