At Eternal Media we are proud to pour heart and soul into our projects and today was one of those days when all the threads came together. Even the sun was shining for us!
Recovery in Focus went along the coast to take photos in Llanfairfechan and then Plas Newydd.
It’s often said that the opposite of addiction is connection and we constantly experience the power of creating a strong and supportive recovery network. Connection is at the heart of Recovery in Focus and one of the reasons why we get such great feedback from those who take part.

Sunshine is good for the soul! And it certainly adds a special something to a day with Recovery in Focus.
Our photo shoot in Chester was a beautiful day and we walked the city walls, the Rows and visited the cathedral, putting in to practice the skills learnt so far. This group has two exhibitions lined up already so the pressure is on to produce some great images. We have every confidence!

Mae heulwen yn dda i'r enaid! Ac mae'n sicr yn ychwanegu rhywbeth arbennig at ddiwrnod gyda ‘Recovery in Focus’.
Roedd ein sesiwn tynnu lluniau yng Nghaer yn ddiwrnod hyfryd a buom yn cerdded muriau’r ddinas, y Rhesi ac ymweld â’r eglwys gadeiriol, gan ymarfer y sgiliau a ddysgwyd hyd at hyn. Mae gan y grŵp hwn ddwy arddangosfa wedi'u trefnu yn barod, felly mae'r pwysau ar gynhyrchu delweddau gwych. Mae gennym bob hyder!

What would you wish for in your recovery from addiction?
The Recovery in Focus group used images and words to explore their hopes and wishes in a clean and sober future at our workshop today. An emotional (and sometimes humorous) exercise looking forward to their futures.

Beth fyddech chi'n ei ddymuno yn eich adferiad o gaethiwed?
Defnyddiodd grŵp 'Recovery in Focus' ddelweddau a geiriau i archwilio eu gobeithion a’u dymuniadau mewn dyfodol glân a sobr yn ein gweithdy heddiw. Ymarfer emosiynol (ac weithiau doniol) yn edrych ymlaen at eu dyfodol.

Liverpool is always a favourite for a Recovery in Focus photo shoot day. Yesterday we hit The Brink, the city’s buzzing recovery centre and cafe, the awesome Meteopolitan Cathedral and Open Eye gallery.
Thanks to Bronwen and Declan at @openeyegallery for the warm welcome and support of our project. Also to Cath at @thebrinklpool for speaking with our group about their work.

🌟🏴📢Please support our very close friends for all the reasons below and the many other reasons North Wales Recovery Communities are always too modest and humble to mention.
Bwyd Da is a vital part of supporting life after addiction. They're on the front lines of Recovery, changing and saving lives daily 💜
- Marcus 🙏💜🏴Save Bwyd Da From Unjust Closure (an open letter and petition)
Bwyd Da Bangor was never a conventional commercial enterprise. It was founded with the Health Board’s backing as a multi-functional social venture - promoting local food producers, supporting a food club, employing and training those in recovery, maintaining a food bank, and serving as a community hub.... Crucially, it was never meant to rely solely on commercial viability. A portion of its costs was always intended to be underwritten by the Health Board. That commitment was abandoned... www.recoveryvoices.info/save-bwyd-da-from-unjust-closure/

⭐️ I don't often wear a suit, but nowadays I don't have a toothbrush in the top pocket when I do ! 😅
I'm very proud to have been asked to represent our amazing team from Eternal Media today. 💜
I was invited by The National Lottery and Allwyn as one of their Game Changers to further participate in their 30th birthday celebrations and to meet Members of The Senedd to talk about what we're up to in Wrexham and the positive ripple effect we've been having across Wales for nearly 10 years.
The lottery team on and off stage spoke as passionately about supporting people as we do and it was lovely to see some of the team who supported me in the London events. I'm told more are planned through the year.
It was great to see lots of other organisations who have benefited from lottery funding, and how they have put the money to good use. Truly inspirational!
Thank you everyone who came over and said hello, had a chat and made me feel so welcome today. It feels like we made a lot of new friends today 💜

In addition to learning photography skills, the participants on Recovery in Focus learn how a photo can tell a story. We use a huge collection of printed images to illustrate experiences, hopes and fears.
One exercise today was to build a recovery tool kit with props and images, offering a powerful visual impact.

Yn ogystal â dysgu sgiliau ffotograffiaeth, mae'r cyfranwyr ar 'Recovery in Focus' yn dysgu sut y gall llûn adrodd stori. Rydym yn defnyddio casgliad enfawr o ddelweddau printiedig i ddarlunio profiadau, gobeithion ac ofnau.
Un ymarfer heddiw oedd adeiladu pecyn offer adfer gyda phropiau a delweddau, gan gynnig effaith weledol bwerus.
