About the Project

This project aims to promote the development and sustainability of Lived Experience Recovery Organisations (LEROs) in Derbyshire County.

LEROs are organisations led by people in recovery from substance use, and for people in recovery from substance use - offering peer-led support, reducing stigma, and supporting others to find their own recovery path. 

Throughout 2025, we’ll be running a series of events across all eight districts and boroughs of Derbyshire County, engaging with local communities, which will lead to the co-production of a LERO development plan tailored to the unique needs, strengths and hopes of the people in this county.

This project covers 8 districts and boroughs of Derbyshire County:

• Amber Valley

• Bolsover

• Chesterfield

• Derbyshire Dales

• Erewash

• High Peak

• North East Derbyshire

• South Derbyshire.
