Recovery Games 2026: A Day to Remember
On Sunday 13th September, the Scunthorpe Recovery Service team headed to Sandall Park in Doncaster for the Recovery Games 2026, joining recovery communities from across the country for a brilliant day of challenges, music and celebration.
The team threw themselves into a packed programme of activities, testing their speed, strength, balance, strategy and, most importantly, teamwork. Highlights from the day included:
* Taking on everything from tyre challenges to inflatables
* Supporting and encouraging each other through every challenge
* Meeting and sharing stories with other recovery communities
* Finishing the day with music, dancing and a spectacular colour celebration
The Recovery Games are about much more than competition. The day was a powerful reminder of the hope, courage, friendship and connection that recovery can bring.
Nobody gets through the challenges alone, and the same is true of recovery. Days like this help build confidence, create friendships and show just how full and joyful life in recovery can be.
A huge well done to everyone who represented Scunthorpe Recovery Service, and thank you to Recovery Games CIC, the volunteers and everyone who made the day possible.
