Blackpool will host the 2017 UK Recovery Walk

Blackpool are the winners.

Last week saw Blackpool awarded the honour of hosting the 2017 UK Recovery Walk.  Gathering for the Faces & Voices of Recovery UK AGM at the Brink in Liverpool, a ‘dry’ bar showcasing the possibilities of recovery away from alcohol, Blackpool beat stiff competition to be crowned the winners of the bid process and the right to host the UK Recovery Walk in 2017.

The Horizon bid, facilitated by Blackpool ADS, showcased the growing and vibrant recovery community in Blackpool, and the positive work they are achieving, helping people move forward in their lives free from the struggles associated with substance misuse.

We’d like to say a big thank you to the ADS Horizon team for organising the bid and congratulations on securing what is sure to be a great event for the communities of Blackpool!

We look forward to future developments, showing the possibilities that recovery can achieve.
