East Ayrshire Recovery Network coming together to support International Overdose Awareness Day 2022.

The walk will pass many recovery links to make the community aware of specific locations and also pinpointing where to access Naloxone and Nyxoid.

The walk will end at The Howard Park where everyone will be greeted by The Salvation Army playing their brass band whilst welcoming some guest speakers to say a few words. The community will also have the opportunity to join in on our Rose Ceremony (Remembrance and Hope).

Everyone is then welcome to pop along to The Howard Centre for a bite to eat and refreshments. There will be an opportunity to speak with different support networks, get trained in Naloxone / Nyxoid and let the kiddies have some fun and join in on the activities.

Family friendly event.

Overdose affects the full family not just the individual.
