Everyone’s lives are touched by substance use, be it alcohol or other drugs. Everyone knows someone who has problems relating to their use. This event helps to counter the stigma of substance use and show people how recovery can be both positive and creative.
This event showcases art work, music and films created by people who’ve experienced homelessness and substance issues. It is hosted by a group of people from local community action groups. Together we will create a relaxed space for people to come and explore their own and others’ relationships to the notion of ‘recovery’. You can take part in what-ever way suits you…
- Browse, listen, watch the ‘Connection Collection’
- Pop into the VoiceVan
- Chat over coffee and cakes, and share realities from your point of view
- Check out and shape how issues important to you are being explored through community research.
SUITABLE FOR :
The general public – but we will be specifically tapping into formal and informal ‘peer’networks from across Greater Manchester (e.g. Recovery based groups, Manchester Homeless Charter Arts and Heritage Action Group).
