A NUMBER of people turned out to take part in Shetland’s second Recovery Walk earlier this afternoon (Saturday).

The event, organised through the Pitt Lane-based Recovery Hub and Community Network, was held to celebrate recovery from alcohol or substance use.

It also aimed to raise awareness, reduce stigma and honour those lost through the use of alcohol and other drugs.
