Latest TV: Kennedy St’s TV debut of ‘Recovery St’, produced by Coronations Street’s Curly Watts

Brighton based Kennedy St & Co are launching ‘Recovery St’, the not for profit’s first documentary. It will be broadcast on Latest TV on 6th November at 9pm, with further opportunities to catch it every week during November and December.

This Big Lottery funded project brought together a group of budding film makers with a shared desire to produce a film about their own recovery journey. Kevin Kennedy (known for his iconic role as Curly Watts on Coronation Street and 18 years sober himself), led the filmmaking course with his recovery coach wife Clare.

Identifying a need for the work Clare does in the Brighton community, the couple recently launched Kennedy St & Co, a Community Interest Company. In a short space of time, Kennedy St has established a pop-up ‘Dry Bar’, currently running once a week, as an alternative, substance free social space; a coaching; mentoring academy; and various multimedia productions projects.

The social enterprise is looking for investment, funding and sponsorship options so they can continue to offer volunteering, social entrepreneur coaching & self employment opportunities to people, engaging in active recovery from a variety of health issues.

Their key aims are to provide peer-led support & coaching, education, work-placements, retraining, informal access to information, as well as a range of other courses, workshops, social entrepreneurialism opportunities and visual recovery to wellness activities and events.
