A LERO for Bristol

This page was informed by a group of people with lived experience of problematic drug and alcohol use in Bristol.

They are working together to form an independent 'Lived Experience Recovery Organisation' for the city.

Membership will be from people in recovery and will provide support and guidance, wherever you are on your journey.

We know that people in recovery require a supportive and non-judgmental environment where they feel heard, understood and accepted.

Members of the group will continue to provide feedback to this page to ensure it remains relevant and useful to the community.
