Our Brighton Street Hub is a smaller, community based site in Wallasey, offering a welcoming and non-judgemental space for anyone affected by drugs or alcohol.

This is a full service hub, meaning you can access the complete Wirral Ways offer here, just like at our larger sites. The setting is more compact, which many people find quieter and more personal, while still providing the same high quality care and support.

What you can access at Brighton Street

  • Initial assessments and care planning
    A confidential space to talk through what is going on and agree the right support plan for you.

  • 1:1 appointments
    Regular one-to-one sessions with a recovery worker to review progress, build coping strategies and work towards your goals.

There may be times, particularly during assessments or medical reviews, where we ask to speak with you alone for part of the session to protect your confidentiality and make sure you have space to talk openly.

If the person attending with you has any access needs, or if you require an interpreter or advocate, please let us know in advance so we can make the right arrangements.
