Ultimately our role is to imbed recovery across Scotland and to do this successfully it was necessary to take stock of the work already taking place and assess where we could add value and support, while also generating projects of our own. There have been numerous highlights during our first year. Perhaps the most obvious and certainly most visible being the UK Recovery Walk 2010 where hundreds gathered to show recovery is a reality. But highlights don’t always have to be as visible to so many... Our work has taken us across Scotland where we have met many people in recovery who are living, breathing proof that recovery can and does happen. We have worked with people keen to share their story to help others and held events across the country where people in recovery have shared their hopes and fears in relation to the recovery agenda.

Care has to be taken to make sure that the data is correct and up to date.
