Join in an evening that will make a difference to the lives of real men, right here in Bristol.

Chandos House, a residential treatment centre for addiction, is on a critical fundraising mission, in order to continue saving the lives of men suffering from substance and alcohol addiction.

All ticket sales and funds raised will go to Chandos House, Bristol’s last remaining Rehab which offers men the opportunity for transformation, from the ravages of trauma and addiction into leading healthy, full, connected lives.

“How we treat our most vulnerable members of society is a reflection on ourselves,” says Kate Guscott, art therapist at Chandos House. “Men who are left homeless, demonized, incarcerated and destitute only have drugs and alcohol to turn to.

“By helping these individuals, we help ourselves. No man is an island. Let’s come together and support people at their most needy moment, and in turn transform their lives, our communities and the very fabric of our society.”

On the night you’ll be joined by inimitable writer and comic Will Self, who will be reading from, and discussing his writings, related to the subject of addiction and recovery.

There will also be the opportunity to meet Will, and get your hands on a signed copy of his most recent book Phone, in return for a donation,

The auction will include signed artworks from Bristol artists Nick Park. Inkie and Alex Lucas and signed books from Stephen Fry, Grayson Perry and Eric Clapton. Plus more luxury stuff.

You’ll also hear from former Chandos House residents who will share their stories of how their time at Chandos changed their lives.
