Thank You to Epping Forest District Council for Supporting the Essex Recovery Festival 2025
As we look ahead with excitement to this summer’s Essex Recovery Festival, we’re thrilled to announce that we’ve received generous support from the Epping Forest District Council through their Public Health Community Grant scheme. This funding will play a vital role in making the 2025 festival our most impactful and inclusive celebration yet.
The Essex Recovery Festival is set to take place from 8th–10th August 2025, and it promises to be a vibrant weekend filled with connection, creativity, and community spirit.
Thanks to the backing from Epping Forest District Council, we’ll be able to enhance the festival experience for attendees from across Essex. This includes:
Expanding access for individuals and families from the Epping Forest area who may otherwise face barriers to attending.
Bringing in local performers, speakers, and wellbeing practitioners to showcase the amazing talent and recovery-focused work happening in the district.
Creating safe, supportive spaces where people can share stories, learn, and feel empowered on their own recovery journeys.
Why This Support Matters
The Public Health Community Grant scheme is designed to support initiatives that improve the health and wellbeing of local people… and that’s exactly what the Essex Recovery Festival is all about. Recovery is not a straight path, and it’s not something that happens in isolation.
Epping Forest District Council’s recognition of the power of community-led recovery sends a powerful message: that everyone deserves to be seen, supported, and celebrated.
What’s Coming in 2025
With three full days of workshops, live music, creative activities, wellbeing zones and speakers with lived experience, the Essex Recovery Festival 2025 is shaping up to be something truly special.
Whether you’re in recovery, supporting someone who is, working in the sector, or simply want to be part of something meaningful - we’d love for you to join us!
