🎄 A Huge Thank You to Our Amazing Skinnergate Team 🎄

As we reflect on the year and celebrate the festive season, we just want to take a moment to say thank you to every single member of the Skinnergate team.

Your compassion, commitment and tireless hard work do not go unnoticed. Day in and day out, you show up for our residents with kindness, professionalism and heart — often going above and beyond, even when it’s tough.

We are so grateful for everything you do and for the care, respect and dignity you bring to the work you deliver. Skinnergate truly wouldn’t be what it is without you.

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and a peaceful, well-deserved break wherever possible 🎄💛

🎄 What a day at Skinnergate! 🎶

Yesterday was incredibly special, with our residents enjoying a wonderful Christmas party, followed by a beautiful carol service in the evening.

We are so grateful to everyone who supported us, attended, and helped make the day such a success. Your kindness, time and presence truly made a difference. 💛

A very special thank you to David and Miriam, our Corps Officers, for facilitating the carol service and for serving and spending dinner with us – your support and dedication were truly appreciated and meant so much to our residents. 🌟

Most importantly our residents had a fantastic day, full of joy, laughter and festive spirit – exactly what this season is all about.

Thank you for being part of our Skinnergate community and for helping us create such meaningful moments together. 🌟

Content note: substance abuse | Sam struggled with addiction since he was a teenager; he was groomed by a local gang when he was just 12 years old, by 13 he was addicted to drugs and alcohol and by the age of 18 he was homeless.

“As a kid I always had a void, but drugs took that away; the drugs filled it, and I felt they gave me a purpose,” he says, “I started taking co***ne and drinking alcohol when I was 13. My school life suffered, and my gang culture and mentality got me in trouble.

“The Salvation Army encouraged me to go into rehab and I did a six-month residential rehab and haven’t looked back. I was only at the Lifehouse for eight weeks. Eight weeks to be given an opportunity to change my life, the encouragement to change my life.”

Sam's story is just one example of how together we are making a real difference in the lives of people living with addiction.
