The UK Recovery Movement:

The 4th UK Recovery Walk 2012 –  Brighton

We are asking you to join us all yet again in this dramatic display of support for recovery. Over the last few years, here in the UK, recovered people have taken significant strides in ‘putting a face on recovery’.

We are the faces of your neighbours, business leaders, school teachers, clergy, police officers and others representative of your community. We believe that by being public about our recovery and through the power of our personal stories, we have incredible potential to become a teaching and healing force.

Indeed, by having the courage to proclaim that ‘recovery is a reality’ in our lives, we believe we can help shape public policy and begin to reduce stigma.

We have made arrangements to meet in September 2012 in Brighton. (details to be confirmed, dates venues etc).  Where we hope thousands of individuals will offer themselves as living proof that recovery is real.

We need your help to remove barriers to recovery and open new doors for those still struggling, and those who are struggling to support the ones they love. We need your help to show that those we have lost are not forgotten.

 

facebook.com/tim1leg please see my profile page on FB for hundreds of pics of #ukrf11 & #ukrw11 #recoverymonthuk of the recovery walk 2011 Cardiff and the UKRF Summit.

 

 

If you have stuff that's going on in the community and want to share it with the rest of the UK bung it our way and we'll put it up. This site has been established to give people the opportunity to share all the good things that are going on out there in communities. We want to support people in promoting the many strengths and assets that recovering people and people in recovery have. We want to help you help others. We want to help people connect with each other and make new friendships. Together we can learn, we can build new learning circles, we can support each other and change the world.

 

If you’d like to explore the development of Recovery Networks in your area of the UK or get in touch with those already established please get in touch. email
