Actions always speak louder than words and on Saturday your action of showing up spoke volumes.
The
Recovery Town launch event at
The Great Escape was a huge success with a brilliant turnout and a real mix of people from across different recovery programmes, services and communities.
It wasn’t just people in recovery but families, friends and allies too. That blend is exactly what Recovery Town is about: breaking stigma, building unity and showing what is possible when we stand together.
It was a day for everyone with great music by Sam Simmons, Rob Bywater and Luna's Moon, organised by
Sounds From The Dockside and a real family atmosphere that captured the spirit of what we are building.
At the heart of Recovery Town is a simple goal: to make recovery more accessible for all people. No matter someone’s background, journey or pathway, recovery can be visible, supported and celebrated across our community.
We want to take a moment to say thank you to
Needhams Butchers for providing only the best for the BBQ,
Paul Atkinson and LEW Electrical for rigging us up with electricity, Ken Asquith from the Armed Forces Veterans Community who helped finish the yard, Kath and Sid for delivering art activities for the children and of course our amazing recovery community for hosting this event.
This launch was just the beginning. Our mission is to keep taking real and tangible action against stigma and for community support. Saturday proved that Grimsby is already a town that cares and we are looking forward to building on that momentum together.
Recovery Town: recovery for everyone, everywhere
