Some Details...
NOTTINGHAM'S first alcohol-free bar will open in the city centre early next year.
We are currently converting the old Nottingham Building Society building in Friar Lane into its new venture, Sobar and creating up to 20 full and part-time jobs. It will be manned by voluntary staff, including recovering alcoholics and drug addicts who have been helped by us. Richard Atkinson, fundraising co-ordinator said: "It's fantastic to see months and months of planning finally come together. "We are very excited to be working in such a beautiful building and we can't wait to get the bar up and running. "The business model behind the bar is hugely important to us as it allows us to provide extra support to help people on the road to recovery. There's never been anything like this in Nottingham and I'm sure lots of people would like to visit us for a business meeting in the day, lunch with the family or a place to meet friends on Saturday night."
Sobar aims to provide people on the road to recovery with work experience, training and employment. All profits made by the venture will go back into funding Double Impact's range of services for people in recovery.
