Recovery Walk Scotland Stirling 2025

Recovery Walk Scotland is the largest recovery event in Scotland and has been held in different locations across our beautiful country since 2013. The event is comprised of three parts: Roses in the River Memorial, Recovery Walk Scotland procession through the town and a Recovery Festival and Village in King's Park, Stirling.

Recovery Walk Scotland is supported by many organisations and community groups. Last year thousands of people took part in Recovery Walk Scotland in Glasgow.

The walk is approximately 1.5 miles through Stirling City Centre (which should take just under an hour). We ask that anyone taking part in the walk/procession is fit and able to complete the walk and that you wear appropriate footwear for walking this distance. For anyone who is unable to take part in the walk, you are welcome to gather in the Recovery Village/Festival area in King's Park to welcome the procession back.

Please be prepared for all weather conditions, including sunscreen/block, hats, hoods and possibly an umbrella tucked in for good measure.

We are also looking for additional volunteer stewards for the day, if your group are able to offer any bodies from your group to help out, could you please email learning@scottishrecoveryconsortium.org

There will be video recording and photography taken on the day which may be used for Scottish Recovery Consortium social media, websites and documents to remember the day. If you do not wish for your image to be used, please contact staff at the SRC stall within the Recovery Village on the day.
