Wow! What a day for Lived Experience-led Recovery and Community in Nottinghamshire - Notts Recovery Collective opened its doors and officially welcomed other partners and supporters to enjoy a day of shared commitment to connecting and growing recovery across the county. Double Impact, a Lived Experience Recovery Organisation (LERO) working for 20 years in Nottinghamshire, received funding from the National Lottery Community Fund for the next 5 years to deepen and develop its commitment to peer-led recovery across Notts, in the form of the Collective. The High Sheriff of Notts cut the ribbon to open the event which was organised by the members. Everyone left buzzing with enthusiasm and ideas!
