Happy Recovery Month from Recovery In Focus! On this workshop day at North Wales Recovery Communities, we looked at metaphors in photography, introduced photography theory with rule of thirds, leading lines and symmetry.
We also looked at the cycle of addiction and the recovery toolkit, while using photos as a way to explore what changes the group wish for themselves.
Huge thank you to Comisiynydd Heddlu a Throsedd Gogledd Cymru / PCC North Wales for funding this Recovery In Focus group with their Pathways to Recovery Fund.

Recovery In Focus 10! TEN! ONE-ZERO!
Weβre back at our favourite place, Penrhyn House, North Wales Recovery Communities where weβve got a lively new group who have told us that already in day 1 that theyβve each learnt something new about their phones camera.
Weβre looking forward to showing them photography skills and taking them on their first photo shoot soon!

Marcus was featured on BBC Radio 5 Live today to speak about homelessness in response to PM Andy Burnhamβs plans to support rough sleepers over winter.
Marcus shared his lived experience of being homeless during his years of active addiction to crack and heroin, the challenges he faced with housing during his early recovery and how these challenges impact people in recovery.
As usual with the subject, we feel this is just the tip of the iceberg. Thereβs so much more to be covered on the subject to understand what the best practical solutions are for everyone affected and to identify what has not been working all this time.
Thank you to the BBC for having Marcus on yet again to speak on the matter, and we hope to see more conversations on this, but most importantly, meaningful positive action being taken.

Thank you to everyone who has supported, helped and encouraged myself and Eternal over the years!! π
I absolutely wouldn't have been able to get 1 day under my belt without the most amazing people not giving up on me when I was homeless and utterly lost to 25 years of Heroin and Crack addiction. I'm reflecting a lot this morning ππ€
I'm Eternally grateful to you all!! ππ
