13 yrs ago, they told me this idea wouldn’t work.
Weeks away from our 13th @RecoveryGames, we’ve built one of the UK’s biggest recovery celebrations. 🔥
If you have a vision, build your field of dreams & prove them wrong.
🤝 Sponsorships open (DM me!) 👕 Tees soon 🗓️ Sept 13th
Our mission has always been to ensure the event remains free for all. Join the cause and help us keep this a reality.
WE ARE LIVE! The #RecoveryGames2026 Crowdfunder is OPEN! 🚀
13 years ago, I started this to prove recovery is about JOY. Now a CIC, we’re going bigger than ever!
🏆 800+ Competitors 🎧 Top DJs & Artists
Help us smash the stigma! 👊
