It's Random Acts of Kindness Day 💜💙💚

Today is all about the little things that make a big difference. A smile. A kind word. Checking in on someone who might be struggling.

At Druglink, we see every day how compassion and understanding can change lives. Recovery starts with kindness - towards others and ourselves.

This Random Acts of Kindness Day, why not:
💜 Reach out to someone you haven’t spoken to in a while
💙 Offer support without judgement
💚 Donate, volunteer, or share a message of hope
💜 Do one small thing that could mean the world to someone else

Kindness is powerful. Let’s spread it far and wide today.

Spreading the Love at Druglink’s Safer Places 💖

We’ve been celebrating Valentine’s Day in the sweetest way at our Safer Places services! Clients from both houses came together to create some fantastic Valentine’s-themed cupcakes, filling the kitchen with creativity, laughter, and plenty of icing.

To add to the fun, we held a friendly cupcake competition, judged by our brilliant Senior Practitioner, Bernie. The standard was so high that choosing a winner proved impossible - so she declared a tie, and both houses proudly took home a prize!

Our clients thoroughly enjoyed the activity, chatting, laughing, and sharing memories while decorating their cupcakes. Some even said the session reminded them how much they used to love baking — and may have inspired them to pick it up again.

Moments like these remind us that connection, creativity, and a little kindness (and cake!) can go a long way 💕
