Run to recovery

Connor Shannon started Addicts to Athletes after he found that running helped him with his recovery from addiction.

Rachel Burden hears from Connor Shannon who set up Addicts to Athletes after he found that running helped with his recovery from addiction.

Café Hope is our virtual Radio 4 coffee shop, where guests pop in for a brew and a chat to tell us what they’re doing to make things better in big and small ways. Think of us as sitting in your local café, cooking up plans, hearing the gossip, and celebrating the people making the world a better place.

We’re all about trying to make change. It might be a transformational project that helps an entire community, or it might be about trying to make one life a little bit easier. And the key here is in the trying. This is real life. Not everything works, and there are struggles along the way. But it’s always worth a go.

You can contact us on cafehope@bbc.co.uk or Whatsapp us on 0330 678 47 27

Details of organisations offering information and support with addiction are available at bbc.co.uk/actionline
