Together with our funders, MELDAP, we are excited to bring to you the Festival of Recovery Dunbar 2024, running from Friday 13th to Sunday 15th of September 2024, where we will celebrate all types of recovery through exploring personal journeys and the importance of social support networks, promoting the need for acceptance, hope and resilience. Through workshops and information sessions, music, art, social cafe, cooking and well-being sessions and many more exciting events, we aim to show what recovery means to us as a community.
The festival will be held at different venues across Dunbar and surrounding villages. It is a collaboration of a wide range of support services and our talented local community. All the events across the weekend are free and open to everyone. Come along and get involved.
There is a huge amount on over the three days. You can download the programme here and join in the discussion on Facebook by clicking here where you can also see more details for events to see what is for you.

This Fierce Love: Dunbar
DUNBAR TOWN HOUSE – SATURDAY 15TH SEPTEMBER
Booking essential – click here.
Scottish Families Affected by Drugs and Alcohol are bringing their event, This Fierce Love, to the Festival of Recovery Dunbar 2024!
This Fierce Love is an interactive workshop where we listen to a family member’s story of living with problematic alcohol and drug use, discussing and reflecting on what we have heard together. Scottish Families believes that recognising, supporting, and including families is the change we need to see in Scotland to reduce alcohol and drug-related harm.
We welcome everyone from commissioners, service providers, statutory services, third sector organisations, family members impacted by a loved one’s alcohol or drug use, and community groups to come along to this event. The more varied the participation the richer the conversation! Please note that the story shared contains some parts that you may find triggering, particularly if you are a family member who has not yet accessed support. The event is not suitable for anyone who is currently struggling with alcohol or drug use.
