Date: November 12th 2026
Fallen Angels are excited to announce a new project in Salford made possible through funding from UK Government with support from Salford CVS and Salford City Council.
Are you in addiction recovery? Would you like to try something creative, meet new people, build confidence and share your story in a supportive environment?
Moving Stories is a free creative project from Fallen Angels Movement, designed for local people in recovery. You do not need any movement, photography or arts experience to take part.
During November – December we will be hosting and offering taster workshops in Salford, where you can meet the team, try out a short session and hear about the project.
From January to February 2027 over several weeks, you will have the opportunity to explore movement, creativity, photography and storytelling in a safe, welcoming and non-judgemental space. Together, participants will create a collection of photographs, short film and creative movement pieces that reflect the realities, strengths and hopes of recovery.
What to expect?
- Gentle and accessible movement sessions.
- Creative activities exploring personal stories and lived experience.
- Opportunities to take part in photography and film-making.
- Time to connect with others in recovery.
- Support from experienced artists and recovery-aware facilitators.

The project is open to adults aged 18+ who:
- Are in recovery from addiction, or a family member of.
- Live in Salford or the surrounding area.
- Would like to improve their wellbeing through creative activity.
- Are interested in meeting others and trying something new.

- Create a sense of purpose and achievement.
- Build positive relationships and support networks.

Celebrating Recovery
The project will culminate in a public exhibition and celebration event in Salford in March 2027 where participants can choose to share their work with friends, family and the wider community. Together, we will challenge stereotypes about addiction and celebrate the creativity, resilience and talent that exists within our recovery communities.
