What a fantastic day! ❤️🏅 A massive thank you to everyone who took part in this year’s annual Jericholympics. The sun was shining, the fancy dress costumes were absolutely brilliant, and most importantly, we spent the day together laughing, connecting and creating memories. The day was packed with activities including art workshops, DJ workshops, a relaxing sound bath tent, community stalls, the egg and spoon race, 100m and 200m races, and of course our sponsored 5K walk and run, raising much-needed funds for The Living Recovery Foundation. A huge thank you to everyone who took part in the sponsored 5K and to everyone who has already donated or raised sponsorship. Your support really does make a difference. If you still have any outstanding sponsorship money to collect, please get in touch and we’ll happily send over our bank details. A special thank you to Emma Allen from Acute Business Advisory for hosting the sound bath sessions throughout one of the hottest days of the year! Your time and expertise were hugely appreciated. 🎪♥️🙏 Finally, we want to say a heartfelt thank you to the incredible Jericho staff, and especially our amazing volunteers, who once again gave up their Saturday to make the whole event possible. Events like this simply couldn’t happen without your commitment, generosity and willingness to go the extra mile. Days like today remind us that recovery isn’t just about overcoming addiction. It’s about rediscovering joy, building friendships, making memories and proving that life can be full of fun, laughter and connection. If you run a local business, charity, community group or wellbeing service and would like to host a tent, stall, workshop, activity or event at Jericholympics 2027, we’d love to hear from you. Every year we’re looking to make the event even bigger and better, and we’d welcome anyone who would like to get involved and support our recovery community. Thank you to every single person who came along and made it such a special day.
