Hannah Wraith and Darren Murphy from our Enhanced Care & Specialist Chemsex Team are in Antwerp this week attending the International Chemsex Conference.

The event brings together professionals from across the world to share learning around chemsex, harm reduction, mental health and sexual health support.

At Forward Leeds, we’re committed to making sure our services reflect the latest research, best practice and lived experience. Opportunities like this help us continue to strengthen the support we offer to people in Leeds.

We’re proud to see our team representing the city on an international stage 💙

“I didn’t think I could do that.”

That was the feeling in the room on Friday.

Visible Sport Recovery at Big Depot was full of adrenaline, courage and moments that reminded people what they’re capable of.

Recovery builds strength in many ways, sometimes one hold at a time.
