Active Recovery Project
What is it?
Active Recovery offers a range of free activities in the community each week. It provides a safe and supportive space where people can try something fun, build up their confidence and socialise with others who have a shared understanding of their experience.
We have over 60 members in our Active Recovery community, providing joy, connection, grounding, compassion, safety and the opportunity to learn new skills.
