Sober Social

Sober Social is back at Your SU @ CitySpace on Thursday 5 November, starting at 16:00. It's a recovery-friendly social space on campus run by Recovery Connections and student volunteers, and this session is part of a new weekly run that alternates between Sunderland's two campuses.

It's built from student suggestions, so the whole thing is designed to be inclusive, judgment-free and relaxed. There's pizza, music and games, and alongside that, information on safe substance use and recovery resources. The idea is to build a recovery community on campus, empowering students in recovery and giving people the skills to support others. It's aimed at students who are sober, sober-curious or in recovery, but it's open to any student, and you're invited to come as you are, with a friend or on your own. The format is shaped by the suggestions of the people who turn up, so it changes based on who's in the room.

It's free to attend, and you'll find it at Your SU @ CitySpace, University of Sunderland Students' Union, City Campus, Chester Road, Sunderland, SR1 3SD. Doors open at 16:00 on Thursday 5 November.
