The Peel Centre, Dronfield: Your Recovery, Your Community - Derbyshire County.

Friday 26th September, 12.30pm - 4.00pm in the Edward Lucas Hall at the Peel Centre, High St, Dronfield S18 1PY.

Join us for our roadshow of local events across Derbyshire County districts and boroughs in 2025, following the launch event in May 2025.

We’re working with local people and communities to shape a shared vision for lived-experience recovery leadership, one that’s rooted in lived and living experience, driven by community strengths, and built to last.

Join us for an engaging day of learning, connection, and building - through real-life stories, practical workshops, and collaborative activities, we’ll explore:

• Why lived experience matters in recovery and in leadership
• What is possible for growing grassroots movements in your local area
• What support is needed to make it happen.

There’ll be space to share your ideas, skills, and aspirations, as well as the challenges you see and what could help overcome them.

Lunch and refreshments provided.

This event is FREE to attend. For any questions do get in touch over email: contact@recoverycommunityderbyshire.co.uk)
