Nightingales: Your Premier LERO Model Recovery Centre in Birkenhead
What is LERO?
LERO stands for Lived Experience Recovery Organisation.
It means we’re led by people who’ve been there — people with personal experience of addiction and recovery. We believe lived experience is a strength, not a stigma. It helps us connect, understand, and support others in ways that are real, respectful, and rooted in trust.
At Nightingales, lived experience shapes everything we do — from our café and wellbeing sessions to peer support, volunteering, and beyond.
