If you're in recovery from addiction - or you love someone who is - you've found your people.
The Notts Recovery Collective is a growing community of people in recovery and friends of recovery, built on the belief that recovery is strongest when it's owned and led by the people living it.
Wherever you are with yours, this is a space of inclusion, purpose, and hope.
● About
Who are NRC?
The Notts Recovery Collective (NRC) is a community shaped by the people in it - peer-led, built on lived experience, and centred around a hub in Mansfield where you can find connection, creativity, and real support. The goal isn't just to help you through a rough patch. It's to build the kind of long-term independence and wellbeing that lasts.
And this is just the start. The ambition is that everyone in Notts has access to community-based peer support - and can enrich their recovery with the varied opportunities already available across the county.
We're funded by the National Lottery Community Fund and part of Double Impact, an addiction recovery charity working across Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire (Registered charity no. 1139865).
What’s going on?
There's always something on - a diverse mix of hybrid peer groups, creative workshops, and vocational training, regularly updated to reflect what Members actually want. Whether you'd rather be online or in the room, you'll find something that fits.
