Join us on Monday 10th November, 12.00pm - 4.30pm in the Ballroom at the Winding Wheel Theatre, Holywell Street, Chesterfield, S41 7SA for the final Your Recovery, Your Community event - a celebration of voices, learning, and hopes for Derbyshire County.

In 2025 Your Recovery, Your Community has travelled right across Derbyshire County - from Buxton, Bakewell, Bolsover, Belper, Swadlincote, Chesterfield, Ilkeston, and Dronfield. At each local community, and through interviews, surveys and conversations, we heard from people with lived experience of addiction and recovery, their families, and local communities.

Together, these voices amplified the strengths of local recovery communities, sharing innovative ideas, creativity and flexibility and unique insight into the resilience and needs to grow Lived-Experience Leadership, Recovery and Lived-Experience Recovery Organisations (LEROs).

Now it’s time to bring it all back together.

Back in May 2025, our launch event was held at the Winding Wheel Theatre, so it is fitting to return for a celebratory event. In this event, we will share the voices of Derbyshire County and the expertise and talent that had already existed across communities. We'll showcase the project's findings and themes, develop Lived-Experience Leadership, and we will highlight the incredible lived-experience leadership across Derbyshire. This event is about connection, hope, and possibility.

Who is this event for?

This event is for anyone in Derbyshire interested in recovery, community, and lived-experience leadership. Whether you’ve shared your views at earlier events, are part of a LERO, or just want to connect and celebrate, you’re welcome. It is not a professional or networking event, it's an opportunity to meet others who have walked the same journey, to come together to build and celebrate recovery in the county and to inspire - and be inspired - by peers.
