This study adds to this body of literature by providing analysis of a football project in a medium-secure service context. This study also expands the methodological an d theoretical scope of the literature by adopting an ethnographic approach and by utilising the CHIME conceptual framework as an evaluative tool. 47 participants were involved in the study, which included service-users, staff and volunteers. The data demonstrated that these sessions have considerabl e links to the CHIME processes, and can therefore be considered to enhance personal recovery for those involved.
