Company activities and impact

Freed Up CIC exists to improve the health, wellbeing and social inclusion of people affected by alcohol and drug use through creativity, music, community participation and recovery-focused opportunities. During the financial year, the company delivered a range of alcohol-free community events, creative workshops and volunteering opportunities that reduced social isolation, increased confidence and helped people build meaningful connections within their communities. Our activities provided safe, inclusive spaces where people in recovery, their families and the wider public could come together, reducing stigma and promoting positive recovery. We worked in partnership with recovery organisations, community groups and public sector partners to extend our reach and maximise impact. Participants were supported to develop new creative skills, gain practical experience, build confidence and progress into volunteering, education, employment and community leadership opportunities. Our work also created platforms for people with lived experience to share their stories through music, radio, film and public events, helping to challenge stereotypes surrounding addiction and demonstrate that recovery is visible, achievable and valuable. By involving people with lived experience in the design and delivery of our activities, we ensured that our programmes remained relevant, accessible and community-led. Through collaboration and community engagement, Freed Up CIC has continued to strengthen local recovery networks, promote wellbeing and contribute to healthier, more connected communities across Glasgow and beyond.

Consultation with stakeholders

Freed Up CIC regularly consults with a wide range of stakeholders to ensure our activities remain responsive to community needs and deliver meaningful impact. Our stakeholders include people with lived experience of alcohol and drug use, participants, volunteers, artists, partner organisations, recovery communities, local community groups, funders, Glasgow Alcohol and Drug Partnership, Glasgow Health and Social Care Partnership, Sunny Govan Community Radio and other organisations working across the recovery sector. Consultation takes place through participant and volunteer feedback forms, informal discussions at events and workshops, planning meetings, partnership meetings, steering and reference groups, and ongoing engagement with community partners. We encourage participants and volunteers to shape the development of our activities by sharing their experiences, identifying unmet needs and suggesting improvements. Feedback received during the financial year influenced the development of our programme, including expanding opportunities for creative workshops, increasing volunteering and progression pathways, developing additional alcohol-free social events, and strengthening partnerships to improve accessibility and reach. Stakeholder feedback also informed improvements to event delivery, communications and participant support, ensuring that our activities remain community-led and responsive to the needs of those we serve. Freed Up CIC is committed to co-production and values the voices of people with lived experience, recognising them as central to the planning, delivery and continuous improvement of our work.
