The Recovery Walk NI is an event to honour those we have lost to substance use, to celebrate those currently navigating recovery and to remember why recovery is so important within our communities.
Recovery isn’t just about quitting substances. It’s about rebuilding minds, bodies, and relationships. It’s about healing and hope—and creating a future worth fighting for.
Whether you’re one day sober, ten years in, still struggling, or walking in memory of someone—you are welcome. This walk is for you.
Come walk with us. Let’s make recovery visible—and impossible to ignore.
As well as the walk, we will have:
- Support stalls / information on the day.
- Choir Performances
- Live Music
- Live Speakers sharing Messags of HOPE
- Food Vendors
- Inflatables / Facepainting
