We are incredibly proud to share that our very own trustee, Dr Caroline Lowery-Spafford, will be taking to the dance floor as part of this year’s Derbyshire Unstrictly Fundraiser 2026! Like all of the participants, Caroline is stepping well outside of her comfort zone to help raise vital funds for some truly worthwhile causes. We know she’ll do us proud and we’re right behind her every step of the way. We would also like to say a huge thank you to fellow trustee Theresa Peltier DL, whose vision, dedication and hard work make this fantastic event possible year after year. Theresa leads the entire Unstrictly event and has chosen The Living Recovery Foundation as one of this year’s beneficiary charities. We are honoured to be supported alongside some other fantastic causes: ⭐ The Lewis Sewell Trust ⭐ Rebuild East Midlands ⭐ Derby Kids’ Camp & Derbyshire Children’s Holiday Centre Events like this don’t just raise money .. they bring communities together, celebrate courage, and help charities continue making a real difference to people’s lives. If you’re looking for a fantastic night out while supporting some amazing local causes, why not grab a ticket and come along to cheer Caroline on? Good luck Caroline … you’ve got this! 💃🏆🙏👏 #Unstrictly2026 #DerbyshireUnstrictly #LivingRecoveryFoundation #RecoveryIsPossible #CommunityMatters #Fundraising #Derby #MakingADifference #CharityEvent #SupportLocalCharities
We would like to say a massive thank you to Cllr Jonathan Smale for choosing The Living Recovery Foundation as one of his Mayoral Charities for the year. We are incredibly grateful for his support and belief in the work we do. This partnership will help shine a positive light on recovery, raise awareness of the challenges faced by those affected by addiction, and highlight the life-changing support available within our community. Every opportunity to share our message of hope is invaluable, and we truly appreciate the positive attention and support this will bring to our charity and the people we serve. Thank you, Councillor Smale, for standing alongside us and supporting our mission to help individuals and families rebuild their lives. #ThankYou #MayoralCharity #LivingRecoveryFoundation #RecoveryIsPossible #CommunitySupport #StrongerTogether #Derby #MakingADifference #HopeInAction #RecoveryWorks 💙 Derby City Council BBC Derby Foundation Derbyshire The National Lottery Community Fund Derby Homes Derbyshire Police and Crime Commissioner Toyota UK University of Derby
