Fallen Angels Dance Theatre are incredibly excited to be part of UK Recovery Walk 2025 with our friends in Wolverhampton at SUIT Recovery community. This is what they have to say about the day:

Our incredible recovery community will be celebrating their creativity, comradery, and lived experience all over the city of Wolverhampton for Recovery Month, after a successful bid to host the UK Recovery Walk 2025!

There will be celebrations held at Molineux Stadium, and Wolverhampton’s beautiful West Park, where the Recovery Village will be full of art, performance, and solidarity in recovery. SUIT have been working alongside the Good Shepherd, Wolverhampton City Council, and Recovery Near You, and September will see visitors arrive to showcase Wolverhampton’s amazing diversity and highlight its recovery journey through the Recovery Walk and Recovery Village.

“It has been our vision to reflect the strength and uniqueness of our diverse creative recovery community in Wolverhampton, and the UKRW is an incredible opportunity to make this happen. I’ve been working with the Good Shepherd’s Kate Penman, planning client-led art exhibitions for the conference, held on Friday 12th September at Wolves Molineux Stadium, and for the Recovery Village on September 13th, in West Park. West Park was formerly named the People’s Park and is a stunning example of a Victorian park. We’ll be exhibiting artwork produced by the SUIT and Asylum Artist Quarter cohort, and from the Good Shepherd’s art group, inside the bandstand, a Grade II listed structure installed in 1882. SUIT are so excited to welcome performances from Fallen Angels Dance Theatre, Chase Recovery’s Detox Factor, the Geese Theatre, Drum ‘n’ Bounce (Home – Drumnbounce) and the wonderful Wendy Dossett, who will be leading a poetry workshop under the park’s abundant trees, titled “Riffing on the Slogans: A Rolling Recovery-Poetry Workshop.” There is a creative tent planned, where Wendy will be delivering some spoken word with human rights activist and poet Saida Chowdury (Saida Chowdhury`s Poetry Collection Supported by Member of Parliament & Poet Laureate) and interactive workshops from artists Julia Foster and Hannah Boyd-McKee. Hit the Dhol (Hit The Dhol) will be leading the walk, bringing their incredible rhythm, culture, and energy to the whole city.” (Christiane Jenkins, SUIT Creative Arts & Research Lead).
