We held our launch Event in May at the Winding Wheel Theatre, which launched the project across the county.
Between 2nd - 14th July 2025, we hosted four events in Bakewell, Bolsover, Belper, and Buxton. Here’s what attendees told us:
Overwhelmingly positive experiences - 98% of all attendees at the four events were satisfied or very satisfied with the event.
A welcoming space for everyone - 99% of all the four events agreed the events were inclusive and friendly.
Nearly two-thirds of participants had personal or family experience of addiction and recovery.
Attendees came from every district in Derbyshire, with strong representation from Amber Valley, Chesterfield, High Peak, and Derbyshire Dales.
Inspiring and impactful - people said the most memorable moments were the powerful lived-experience talks, open discussions, and the energy of ideas for new recovery initiatives.
