We aim to empower people in recovery from drug and alcohol addiction to lead and develop projects that directly benefit the recovery community. This objective ensures that those with lived experience are at the heart of shaping and delivering support services.
The fund will also support established projects and services (commissioned and non-commissioned) that have proven to be effective and are highly valued by the recovery community. This will help maintain continuity and ensure that successful recovery initiatives continue to receive the necessary support in order to expand.
To create a more inclusive and diverse recovery community, we will fund projects that specifically aim to reach under-served and diverse groups. This objective seeks to broaden the impact of recovery services and ensure that everybody affected by drug and alcohol addiction, regardless of their background, has access to support.
