Wolverhampton is Walking for Recovery

Wolverhampton is set to welcome a celebration of recovery next month when the city hosts UK Recovery Walk 2025. The annual event, which takes place in a different location every year, will be held at West Park on Saturday September 13.

Each year a different city or town is selected to host the National Recovery Walk, which includes a public march and a celebratory Recovery Village. The event is endorsed by the UK-wide human rights charity Faces and Voices of Recovery UK (FAVOR UK), which advocates for and empowers people with living and lived experience of alcohol and drugs.

Annemarie Ward, CEO of FAVOR UK said: 

“Every year, our Recovery Walk reminds the world that recovery is not only possible but thriving. We come together as individuals in recovery, families, allies, and professionals to celebrate lives reclaimed from addiction and to honour the memory of those we have lost.”

“Wolverhampton, with its rich culture and strong recovery community, is the perfect backdrop for this year’s walk. We can’t wait to walk with pride with you all on September 13th.”

Coming to the Black Country for the first time, Recovery Walk 2025 promises to be a vibrant, family-friendly day filled with live entertainment, community stalls, and a powerful show of solidarity for those on the journey of recovery.

Local events company Dangerous Sheep Events Ltd is coordinating the Recovery Village at no cost in celebration of the event, promising it will be an unforgettable day for all to enjoy.
