The event attracts hundreds of people from across the country to take part in a day of healthy gladiator style games and obstacle courses on  August 16 at Hatfield Activity Centre.

Neil Firbank, Aspire Senior Day Programme Lead, said: “The Recovery Games symbolise that recovery does and can happen with the right support. Those taking part are on their own journey of recovery and once a year they join in and have fun with others who are also experiencing the recovery process.”
