Festival 2022
Focus Centre memorial bench
Organised by Recovery Coaching Scotland
The group will be creating a memorial bench which will sit in the garden of the community centre where the group host their weekly recovery cafe.
We will build this bench as part of community activities with Nature Unlimited at Drygrange, where we will have the opportunity to sit and share as a community (around the fire), remembering those who have died because of alcohol or other drugs and mental health problems including suicide. This will be the first event for remembering lost loved ones from Drugs & Alcohol; Mental Health problems and suicide in the Scottish Borders.
“We grieve because we have loved. We grieve because the person we have lost mattered to us, loneliness isn’t the physical absence of other people; it’s the sense that you’re not sharing anything that matters with anyone else. The opposite of addiction is not sobriety; it’s connection”.
