Connecting Recovery: Lived Experience at the Heart of Scotland's Future
Uniting communities, policy, and evidence to build a resilient, rights-based Recovery-Oriented System of Care (ROSC) across Scotland.
What We Do
People, Communities, and Systems
Scottish Recovery Consortium supports, represents and connects recovery across Scotland. We achieve this by working with recovery in all its forms – from grassroots to government, from individuals to international organisations and we value lived and living experience throughout. We are a small team working nationally across Scotland to develop and provide a variety of offerings including events, training, representation and community development. Scottish Recovery Consortium adopts a rights-based approach and believes in collaborative working.
Empowering Our Peer Leaders
We offer online learning and resources, applying CHIME and PANEL principles to build skills, confidence, and authentic peer voices across the sector.
Connecting Local Recovery Groups
Find the recovery resources closest to you using our interactive national map powered by ALISS, instantly connecting you to local support and LEROs.
Embedding Rights and Accountability
In partnership with the National Collaborative, we embed human rights and the AAAQ Framework to ensure equitable, high-quality, accountable services.

Evidence-Based Strategy: Resources That Drive Reform
The Charter of Rights Partnership
Our partnership with the National Collaborative and the British Institute of Human Rights is focused on integrating the Charter of Rights and PANEL principles into all policy and practice. This ensures accountability, non-discrimination, and dignity for every person in recovery.
