Mary’s story
The Chapman Barker Unit (CBU) is a specialist NHS inpatient detox service in Prestwich, Manchester, helping adults safely recover from drug and alcohol addiction and begin their journey toward long-term recovery. Every day, the team supports people through some of the most difficult moments of their lives with compassion, dignity and hope.
In August 2025, Andy Burnham, Greater Manchester Mayor, attended the reopening of the newly refurbished Chapman Barker Unit following major improvements to the building which created a safer, more therapeutic environment for patients.
Inspired by this new chapter for the unit, we are taking on the Manchester 10K to raise money for new gym equipment for patients at Chapman Barker.
Recovery is about more than detox alone. Physical health, routine, confidence and wellbeing all play a vital role in helping people rebuild their lives. Access to exercise and fitness equipment can make a real difference to both mental and physical recovery during treatment.
Every donation, big or small, will help support patients on their recovery journey and invest in a healthier future for people using the service.
Please support us as we run for recovery. Thank you.
