Ambassador Team Meeting

In January, we held our first Celebrate Recovery UK Ambassador Team meeting, bringing together 20 passionate individuals to explore new publicity opportunities. Following a productive and encouraging discussion, we’re now moving forward with two key priorities:

– Strengthening our social media presence

– Raising awareness of Celebrate Recovery across churches throughout the UK

At our next meeting, on Wednesday 4 March, 7pm, we’ll be allocating roles and practical tasks in both of these areas as we begin to put plans into action. If you have a heart for sharing the message of recovery and would like to get involved, we’d love to hear from you. Please email enquiries@celebraterecovery.co.uk to receive the Zoom details for our upcoming meeting.
