Please help Barnsley Recovery Steps with creating a powerful exhibition that challenges stigma! 💜

📢 Please share this so we can reach as many people as possible. 📢

We want to honour 💜 Overdose Awareness Day 💜 by sharing childhood memories of loved ones.

Our goal is to challenge the stigma surrounding overdose. We hope to remind people that those who die from overdose are 'More than a Statistic.'

They were someone's whole world, with ambitions and dreams of their own.
