In this video, Stephen, a Clouds House graduate, shares how opening up for the very first time became a turning point in his recovery journey. For him, being heard, held, and understood by the Clouds community created the space he needed to begin healing.

At Clouds House, connection is at the heart of everything we do. When someone feels safe enough to talk about their experiences, recovery becomes possible.

Thank you, Stephen, for your honesty. Your story will help others find their voice too.

We recently gathered at the church in East Knoyle with the local village and current residents of Clouds House to honour freedom, change, and possibility through a moving carol service.

As this season so often does, it brought us back to the why.. hearing graduates speak of families reunited, of loved ones returned from the grip of addiction. Quiet miracles, spoken beautifully.

In true and generous spirit, previous Chair of trustees David Bernstein shared his lived experience, seamlessly bridging recovery and local community, reminding us that sobriety is not only possible, but can be stunningly abundant.

Tradition held its place too. Actor David Charkham performed Christmas poetry, lovely mince pies, festive conversation, and the presence of longstanding figures such as Michael Rawlinson.. living reminders of the deep history Clouds House carries, and the many lives it has helped shape in its 40 years.

It was heartening to see our esteemed CEO, MIKE TRACE, and our woman at the helm, Director of Recovery Julie Muir, present in full support and spirit. ✨️🙏

Staff had a wonderful afternoon connecting with the who play such a vital role in our equine-assisted intervention.

Hearing from Laura, our skilled facilitator, brought to life the profound benefits of this work.. the calm presence of the horses, their attunement, and the way they invite honesty, personal insight and regulation.

This intervention has been so well received that we’ve extended the number of sessions available.

For many, particularly those who find group work initially challenging, horses can offer a bridge; building confidence, deepening insight, and nurturing emotional regulation. In turn, these new ways of relating can go on to support a different level of engagement in group therapy.

Fun was had 😊

Yesterday brought some wonderful connection with as he dropped off some precious cargo.

Many will know Harry for his commitment to daily ice baths, but what stands out most is his openness about living in recovery from . That honesty, combined with his discipline, has inspired thousands.. proof that change and consistency can ripple far wider than we often imagine.

Cold water immersion itself is gaining real recognition for supporting mental health: regulating mood, easing anxiety and depression, and building resilience through the simple discipline of showing up daily. Beyond the science, it creates space for clarity, grounding, and a reset many of us deeply need.

Harry, thank you for the inspiration. Until next time!

After 35 years of addiction, Marcus made a 7-hour journey to Clouds House, holding on to hope.

“I was waking up every day not wanting to live. When I walked through those brown doors, I just felt safe. I felt a lot of love.”

Supported by the bursary scheme, Marcus began his recovery journey at Clouds on the first day of the UK’s 2020 lockdown. With therapy, care, and daily structure, he started to rebuild his health, both physically and emotionally.

Later that year, Marcus skydived from 15,000ft to raise over £2,200 for the Bursary Fund so that others could have the same chance at recovery.

“What used to be my mess is now my message.”

Clouds House gave Marcus the foundation to build a new life. His story is one of courage, hope and immense gratitude.
