The Notts Recovery Collective has officially opened its doors
The grand opening welcome event brought together partners, allies, and friends from every corner of Nottinghamshire for a day defined by electric energy, community spirit, and celebration. The Collective was recently awarded a 5-year grant by the National Lottery Community Fund who supported the vision to put people in recovery in the lead of the activity. The launch attracted massive support from across the county, with notable attendees including the High Sheriff of Nottinghamshire, representatives from the National Lottery Community Fund, and colleagues from various other LEROs across the county.
Powerful Testimonials: Members shared deeply moving, personal journeys, offering a poignant reminder of why an independent, safe space is so vital.
Homegrown Success: Visitors were treated to fresh produce grown directly by members in the Collective’s local allotment garden.
Creative Connection: Attendees rolled up their sleeves to participate in hands-on creative activities, proving that recovery is about thriving, learning, and creating together.
