Health, Wellbeing, & Liver Scans with SUIT & Recovery Near You
Upcoming dates…
FRINGE ARTS RETURNS!
WOLVERHAMPTON
27th, 28th, & 29th November 2026
Following a successful inaugural festival in 2025, Fringe Arts Wolverhampton returns this November—bigger, bolder and more ambitious.
This year, the theme is ILLUMINATE
Fringe Arts celebrates all freedoms of expression.
Fringe art movements are known for raising the profile of art forms and performances that exist on the periphery of mainstream arts and culture, often associated with unconventional and experimental work and community led movements.
Fringe arts are about focusing on our creative communities.
Alongside the return of our much-loved light trail and lantern parade, we invite artists, makers and communities to explore how creativity can shine a light on the ideas, actions and stories shaping a more sustainable future.

A safe space open to all who may need support, advice, and community links to services including health & wellbeing, advocacy, housing, welfare, education & training, employment, activities & groups, addiction & recovery, mental health, and delivering peer-led initiatives within the Wolverhampton community.
Workshops are often themed with activities, and delivered by staff and volunteers working with SUIT, the Good Shepherd, One Wolverhampton, Wolverhampton City Council’s Department of Public Health, Rethink and the NHS
Date: First Friday of every month
Time: 10am until 12pm
Location: Train Station Hub WV1 1LE (next door to Costa Coffee)
DDN Lived Experience Recovery Organisations (LEROs) Directory
Lived Experience Recovery Organisations (LEROs) are independent, lived experience-led organisations rooted in local communities.
LEROs work alongside specialist services to support people across the full continuum of need – from harm reduction and early intervention, through treatment, to recovery and community reintegration. They help to build recovery communities, provide peer-led support, and embed recovery, early help and community connection into everyday life.

“Over 1,200 liver scans have now been completed at a pioneering series of pop up clinics across Wolverhampton designed to bring non invasive health screening directly into the community”
Councillor Obaida Ahmed, the City of Wolverhampton Council's Cabinet Member for Health, Wellbeing and Community, said: "These community Fibro-scan clinics are a fantastic example of how we are working with partners to bring healthcare into familiar, welcoming spaces.
"By teaming up with Recovery Near You and the Service User Involvement Team, and working alongside faith leaders, lived experience volunteers, businesses and community organisations, we’ve demonstrated the value of culturally sensitive, accessible, and health focused interventions in breaking down stigma and helping residents to take proactive steps towards better liver health.”

University of Wolverhampton SUIT Poster Campaign
These fantastic posters were designed by dedicated social science and graphic design students at the University of Wolverhampton, who will be submitting the amazing work as part of their upcoming assessments.
The posters kindly promote SUIT and are designed to raise awareness of addiction and addictive behaviours, to break the cycle of stigma and encourage positive conversations between students, tutors, and researchers who may be experiencing the pressures and isolation that can be related to studying or working in academic settings.
If you are a student or staff member at the University of Wolverhampton, look out for the brilliant poster campaign, to encourage people to seek support & open up conversations about addiction and recovery.
If you are a students, researcher, or member of staff at the University of Wolverhampton who may have questions about addiction and recovery, lived or living experience, or be an affected family member, call us on 01902 328983 for guidance.
