Community Podcast: for women+ in recovery

The Community Podcast project is about getting women+ (including trans women and non-binary people) in recovery from addiction together to make change in our local community. We'll meet regularly to co-design two podcast episodes all about recovery and addiction, including a full day at the recording studio and a launch event.

WHAT YOU'LL GET FROM IT

• Learn how to make a podcast from scratch
• Learn or share community event planning skills
• Record in a podcast studio with Erskine Arts
• Raise awareness & tackle stigma
• Support and celebrate your own and others recovery journey
• Meet women+ who get it and have fun together

HOW IT WORKS

• Free and open to all women+ in recovery from addiction
• Weekly sessions held on Wednesday’s from 5.30-7.30pm in short blocks (see dates below)
• Led by Liz, our Project Worker, who is in recovery from addiction and supported by volunteers
