Amy’s Place, a women’s recovery house established by the Amy Winehouse Foundation and Clarion Housing Group in memory of the singer, has supported nearly 90 women in East London over its first decade. Residents describe the two-year accommodation, counselling, therapy, peer community and practical support as transformative in helping them overcome drug and alcohol addiction and move toward independent living.

The centre remains the only recovery house specifically serving young women in this way, but funding shortages limit expansion despite the need for more specialised provision.
