✊This week, SRC sponsored the @freedupevents event for International Women's Day and presented some research about women in recovery.
The event was filled with music, joy, support and inspiring women sharing stories. We were delighted to be part of it

Have a watch of the video below to find out what work is going on in HMP Low Moss to build a recovery community. SRC have been working hard to support this, and we are glad to see it being discussed nationally. ⬇️

Despite the weather, we had a fantastic time at the @RecWalkScot last weekend.
It was lovely to meet many of you and celebrate recovery.
We are already looking forward to next year!

Staff from 11 Scottish prisons took part in @RecWalkScot last weekend.
We were delighted to stand alongside many of our partners who provide invaluable support to people in our care.
Together we walked to raise awareness, reduce stigma & celebrate recovery journeys.
