Elisha House is a recovery project founded in Colne, East Lancashire, in 2016 by a local couple passionate about giving back to their community.

At Elisha House we recognise addiction is a complex illness. We provide a safe, supportive environment and evidence based interventions which promote healing from trauma and the drivers of substance misuse.

As a Lived Experience Recovery Organisation (LERO), our approach is rooted in empathy and understanding. Our dedicated team, many of whom have lived experience with addiction and recovery, provides 24/7 support to adult males with a history of substance misuse.

Currently, we support 31 residents across the three stages of our project. Our mission is to assist individuals in achieving abstinence from all substances, including alcohol, while reconnecting with their families, building meaningful friendships, and exploring new passions.

Health Lottery Foundation Funding Supports New Wellbeing Programme at Elisha House

We are grateful to the Health Lottery Foundation and its players for awarding Elisha House a grant to deliver our Movement and Wellbeing Programme. This funding will support weekly Tai Chi sessions, monthly Drama Therapy days and a Community Theatre Production. Rooted in lived experience, these activities will provide residents with opportunities to process trauma, build confidence, improve their physical and mental wellbeing, and strengthen connections within the community. The programme forms part of our wider commitment to supporting lasting recovery through meaningful activities, personal development and positive social connections.

A great afternoon at Burnley Padel Club 🎾

Our residents had a brilliant time getting out on the courts, having a go and making the most of the facilities. Safe to say, there’s already talk of going back! 😄

Sometimes the thing we’re worrying about in our own heads turns out to be very different in reality.

Drew talks about being worried about how people would react to him, but finding that everyone was welcoming and made him feel comfortable. In the end, it was his own head that wasn’t expecting it.

Taking that first step can be scary, but you never know what’s waiting for you on the other side. 🤝

Elisha House was the backbone for my recovery process. Because of the ongoing nature of the support and friendships I made I was able to focus and distract myself away from the addictions which had a hold on me previously.

Resident John

I've made friends for life here. The range of activities has also helped me transform my life.

Resident Kevin

Working at Elisha House gives me so much pleasure and sense of achievement. To see people transform their lives and to know you've been a part of that is something really special.
