We are sorry to inform you that our North Devon Mental Health Recovery Morning will be postponed. In line with our Recovery values and ethos, we are prioritizing our team's well-being and have decided to reschedule the event for later this summer.

We recognize the importance of this space, but due to various factors, both internally within Recovery Devon and externally in the wider community, this week is not the ideal time for the event

We will still be hosting this event later this year. Please stay tuned to our social media and Eventbrite page for updates.
