About: Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust / Adult mental health (inpatient)

(as a volunteer/advocate),

Hi I'm Alan. It's been an inspirational morning, its going very well, lots of people here, it's going to give hope to so many in the future. I hope to volunteer in any capacity I can to promote recovery.

Hi I'm a staff member, I've been involved with the Rec since it's early days, and can already see the difference it's making to peoples lives.

Hi I am a staff member from learning and development, Angela.This is a fantastic event and I am very pleased to have been part of it.

I am Simon Smith, a director of the trust and I have been amazed by the way in which the REC has taken off, a real inspiration to all of us.

Hi I'm Nigel. Today has shown me just how many people are behind the people involved with the REC. This is a ground breaking project that will benefit all and has the potential to become a major player in the recovery in adult mental health across the city and county.
