Researchers:
The Feeding Recovery Project has been led by Alcohol Change UK, funded by the Welsh Government, and delivered in partnership with Barod and the Nelson Trust.
Feeding Recovery is an Alcohol Change UK project that is about more than alcohol. It is about the poor nutrition and social isolation that often go hand-in-hand with alcohol problems; and about how connecting with others around food can promote wellbeing and reduce harm. It offers a model for services supporting people facing a range of challenges and obstacles in their lives, not just alcohol issues.
In this Feeding Recovery Handbook, we have drawn on our own research and that of others, and above all, on the views and insights of people with direct personal experience of the issues we are seeking to address. We have brought all this together to produce a guide for local services on how to undertake successful cooking and eating activities.
