Wirral Ways is proud to be taking a group to this year’s UK Recovery Walk, and we’d love you to join us.

Saturday 12th September 2026 sees Bradford host one of the biggest recovery celebrations in the country. The Recovery Village opens at 10am in Centenary Square (BD1 1HY), with the walk itself starting at 12pm, a loop taking in some of Bradford’s best known landmarks. Throughout the day there’ll be family-friendly activities, mutual aid meetings, art exhibitions, live workshops, and performances, alongside partner agencies and community groups on hand for information and support.

We’re putting on a free coach from Birkenhead, giving everyone the chance to be part of the day. Whether you’re in recovery yourself, supporting someone who is, or just want to be there, you’re welcome on board.
