Success at Recovery Street Film

Three films that Healthwatch made with Herefordshire Recovery Service (Turning Point) were shortlisted at the national Recovery Street Film Festival.

Karen, Healthwatch's Communication Officer created three separate films with people who had used the Turning Point Service, two of which have recently gone on to complete the Peer Mentor course run out of Turning Point's Bridge Street hub. 

Alongside other shortlisted films, the films were shown at The Courtyard in Hereford and at other venues throughout the country. Karen, along with the Turning Point team were then invited to London for the Celebration and Awards Event Ceremony at the Everyman Theatre in Chelsea.

The Recovery Street Film Festival is an annual event which aims to demonstrate through the medium of film the diverse issues that are faced by people overcome addiction.
