A landmark celebration of drug and alcohol recovery
Recovery Near You, Nacro’s service for those concerned about their drinking or drug use in Wolverhampton, is co-leading this year’s UK Recovery Walk in Wolverhampton on Saturday 13th September.
The event brings together individuals in recovery, families, allies, and professionals to celebrate lives reclaimed from addiction and to honour the memory of those we have lost. The event recognises the important role which support services like Recovery Near you play in initiating people’s recovery journeys and providing someone by their side when times get tough.
We encourage anyone from the wider Nacro community to join us in Wolverhampton to celebrate.
Making it happen through partnership
This national event, endorsed by FAVOR UK, celebrates recovery from addiction and brings together individuals, families, professionals, and allies in solidarity. It is the first time the walk will be hosted in the Black Country, and Wolverhampton is very proud to be the chosen city.
The event is being coordinated by the Wolverhampton Recovery Walk Partnership, a collaboration between Recovery Near You, Good Shepherd, SUIT (Service User Involvement Team), Recovery Near You, and the City of Wolverhampton Council.
Who, where, and when?
Anyone is welcome! We are excited to invite you to join us for the walk starting at 1pm at West Park, Wolverhampton. This is a free national event and anyone is welcome to join. We encourage the Nacro community to come together and celebrate the achievements of those who’ve come out the other side of drug and alcohol addiction.
