Recovery Month CommUNITY Lunch #1

Today we came together for the first of our four CommUNITY Lunches taking place throughout Recovery Month, and what a wonderful afternoon it was.

Sharing food is about so much more than eating together. It creates space for conversations, connection, learning and belonging. Recovery thrives in communities where people feel welcomed, valued and supported, and today's lunch was a great example of that in action.

A huge thank you to George Street Social for the delicious food.

We were lucky enough to have Connected Voice join us and introduce everyone to the fantastic opportunities available at the Secret Garden in Jesmond. It was inspiring to hear about the work taking place there and how local people can get involved, connect with nature and be part of something positive in their community.

Please see their leaflet attached to this post, share it far and wide!

Recovery is strengthened by the people, places and opportunities around us. By coming together, sharing experiences and discovering what's happening across our city, we continue to build stronger pathways to wellbeing and recovery for everyone.

Thank you to everyone who joined us today. We are already looking forward to the next CommUNITY Lunch (Tuesday 15th September 12:00 - 13:00)
