S.P.O.R.T. – Supporting Positive Outcomes in Recovery Together

Phase 1

Our S.P.O.R.T initiative (Supporting Positive Outcomes in Recovery Together), aims to support those aged 18+ who are in recovery for drug or alcohol addiction, by providing positive lifestyle alternatives through the medium of sport and physical activity. The S.P.O.R.T programme will complement individuals existing treatment and aftercare plans and help fill the void left after their substance misuse, helping them to become active and contributing members within their communities and in their local sports clubs.

The programme is coordinated and facilitated by LSP staff & tutors and takes place in Residential and Community based Addiction Treatment Centres.

Phase 2

Tús Nua APP

We are delighted to announce the launch of our new app ‘Tús Nua’ as part of the SPORT initiative. Tús Nua will be a one stop shop for Recovery Capital, including but not limited to:

1. Physical Activity sessions 
2. Drug and alcohol info
3. Aftercare info 
4. Connectivity/Mentoring
5. Journaling
6. Wellbeing
7. Goal Setting
8. Education Pathways
 

The app is publicly accessible, allowing anyone to use its features. Additionally, it includes a private function with a “sign in” option for participants who have engaged in the SPORT program during treatment or for other services that support people in recovery. Services interested in managing and communicating with their own cohorts of clients through the app can find out more about how to integrate and utilise this function by contacting Liam or Dave on the email addresses below. The App is available on both Apple and Android platforms.
