Recovery Friendly University Pledge

Did you know the University of Chester is a Recovery Friendly University? On Monday 6 March 2023, we became the second university in the UK to sign the Recovery Friendly University Pledge.

What is the pledge?

The pledge was created by Recovery Connections, a peer led substance use recovery organisation based in Middlesbrough. The pledge asks universities to tackle the stigma and barriers people in recovery face, especially when trying to access higher education.

Why did we sign the pledge?

At the University of Chester, we are committed to creating an inclusive and welcoming community. We have played a key role in national discussions to develop the pledge and much of our wider work is already in line with its commitments. By signing the pledge, we are showcasing our intent to continue prioritising widening participation and inclusivity, whilst also celebrating the achievements we have already made in this area. We welcome both staff and students that are in recovery and celebrate their achievements and ability to overcome adversity.

So far, we have offered Recovery Ally Training to staff and students, hosted a high-profile recovery friendly photography exhibition, set up a peer-support group for staff in recovery, celebrated International Recovery Day by lighting up our Chapel in purple and made space for staff and students to share their lived experience expertise.

If you would like support in dealing with any of the topics discussed, please contact:
