North West Recovery Communities (NWRC)
Recovery is Possible
North West Recovery Communities is a community led partnership of people and services who are passionate about promoting recovery from Alcohol and Drugs. The partnership delivers a range of opportunities for people to be exposed to 'Recovery is Possible' through a range of different activities, discussions, groups, drop in sessions and social events that take place in a range of community venues across North West.
These are organised, led and delivered by local people in recovery, their families, supporters and a range of staff from local services who work in partnership with the recovery communities networks. The approach is informed by a Recovery Orientated System of Care (ROSC), a model that values the contributions of all, recognises the vital role of personal and community assets and believes that recovery is achievable for all who seek it.

South Community Recovery Network (SCRN)
Routes to Recovery
The South Recovery Community Network (SCRN) offers a range of services and activities that are delivered by volunteers in recovery from problematic substance use. There are two distinct elements of SCRN. Firstly, the practical peer-led activities and emotional supports they provide for people in recovery and secondly, the pathway of development in place for people in recovery to progress into employment, education, and training. These two elements are enveloped by the networks and partnerships they have and the collaborations and initiatives created.
Their activities are created, developed, and delivered by people in recovery. The network provides support to people 7 days a week. Whilst this is not specifically core hours, their volunteers wanted to highlight that continued recovery support takes place across the network after core hours and mutual support is provided across SCRN participants and volunteers.
SCRN are based at The Adelphi Centre, 12 Commercial Road, Gorbals, G5 0PQ
