Company activities and impact

The Recovery Festival 2023 took place on 6 July 2023 at Trinity Centre, Bristol. The aim of the event is to celebrate the stories and achievements of individuals, families and communities across the South West who have been impacted by addiction, isolation, homelessness, mental ill-health or other major life-disrupting circumstances.We have seen an increase in all numbers quoted below compared with 2022. For those in recovery from addiction, or from any other major life disruption, we offer a chance to celebrate achievements, be inspired, build community and have fun. Aprox 700 people came to the free event, and the verbal and written feedback we received was excellent. People have been volunteering to take part in the organising committee and have already been asking hold stalls next year. For those still in active addiction we offer evidence that a worthwhile life of freedom from the substances/situations that have trapped them is both possible and enjoyable. We enjoyed a day of talks, music, singing, creative workshops, alternative therapies, food, non-alcoholic drinks, mutual aid groups, information signposting, and opportunities for volunteering and relationship building. For those working in treatment and support organisations, we enable networking and help enhance knowledge and experience of recovery, and offer the opportunity to meet people who have survived, thrived and moved on to a better life. Relevant local agencies and charities held stalls for networking and providing information and signposting. 9 major local agencies provided funding support.

Consultation with stakeholders

Our major stakeholders last year were ARA Recovery for All, Avon & Wiltshire Mental Health Partnership, Bristol Drugs Project and Developing Health and Independence, Second Step, The Care Forum, The Junction Project. All these agencies supported us in kind by providing members of staff to the steering committee, and through donations.

Additional agencies have also expressed intention to support us in 2024
