'The Comeback' is funded by local authority and Public Health England, it is an abstinence based recovery drop-in and professional art studio. It was set up and is run by people in recovery, who are supported by a team of community volunteers and creative professionals.
Today we are blessed to have 3 guests from #TheComeback who are part of The North East Lincolnshire #Recovery Community.
We will be speaking to Sam Delaney, who is the founder and director of #CreativeStartArtsInHealthCIC which was commissioned in 2019 to set up a recovery community in #NorthEastLincolnshire.
Sam has been abstinent and provided support for people in recovery for many years.
He uses art, specifically painting as a tool to aid his own recovery. He has worked on many large scale community art initiatives, designed to create purpose, opportunity and build the self esteem of people in recovery and their affected others.
Jono Heskin is part of 'The Comeback' management team. He has been involved in The Comeback and Creative Start for a number of years and is now in a key position within the service. Jono is committed to helping others in recovery from #Addiction.
Ian Gower has been involved with 'The Comeback' since it opened in 2019. He has been working on his recovery for almost 3 years. He has a number of relapses in that time, one was a couple of months ago after a year sober. Ian remains committed to recovery.
