Dani Mitchell  – My name is Dani, and I am a dedicated trustee for the East Sussex Recovery Alliance. In my role, I work closely with individuals affected by substance misuse, offering guidance and support as they navigate the challenges of recovery. I am passionate about helping people regain control of their lives, particularly by providing advice on managing financial difficulties.

Having seen the impact financial instability can have on individuals in recovery, I focus on offering tailored solutions to help people manage their budgets, access resources, and build a sustainable financial foundation. My work is driven by compassion, understanding, and a deep commitment to empowering others to achieve independence and long-term recovery.

Through my role, I aim to make a meaningful difference in the lives of those I support, helping them overcome obstacles and rebuild their confidence in a safe and supportive environment.
