Foundation for Change is a London based charity that supports individuals in recovery from drug and alcohol addiction to permanently exit the treatment system, have better futures and fulfil their potential. Dependency on drugs or alcohol affects hundreds of thousands of people each year and it is becoming increasingly more common for the life of someone close to us to be touched by it. Our mission at FfC is to change the way addiction - and other symptoms of complex disadvantage - are addressed at individual and systemic levels through the transformative power of education.

Well done to our comms and admin officer Antonia who completed the London to Brighton bike ride last weekend! Listen to her talk about her experience and her motivation.

Help us spread the word about the vital work we do with people in recovery from addiction!

It’s not too late to donate or share her fundraising page, the link is in the comments.

Our graduates are our greatest advocates when it comes to showing just how powerful our courses are.

Listen to our graduate Ameet talk about his experience on the course, and how it helped him speak out and discover a more authentic path in his recovery.

There are many reasons to feel anxious at the moment. We’re surrounded by uncertainty, division and worries about the future, from the environment to the cost of living.

On our Psychology for Change course, we dedicate a whole day to exploring anxiety, how it can show up and what might help us manage it.

So, we asked some of the FfC team to share their top tips for managing anxiety.

Give the video a watch, and save or share it so you can come back to these tips whenever you need them.

As a feminist organisation, we wanted to honour the wonderful Gloria Steinem, a lifelong feminist and activist.

This quote speaks to something at the heart of our work, learning isn’t always about adding more knowledge!

We are all shaped by the systems and societies we grow up in and our courses create space to question some of these influences and begin to unlearn what no longer serves us.

Because sometimes, unlearning can be the beginning of seeing the world and ourselves differently.

It’s recovery month and we’ll be using this time to do what we do all year round - show that recovery is so much more than substance use and addiction.

At Foundation for Change, our approach and courses support people to look beyond the label of “addict” and explore the experiences, relationships and systems that have shaped their lives.

Labels can offer belonging and accountability, yet they can also limit and reinforce stigma.

Our Comms & Admin Officer, Antonia, explores this in her blog, and what it meant to see herself beyond the experience of addiction.

Read the whole blog on our website via the link in our bio.

➡️ Antonia is also doing the London to Brighton bike ride on the 13th September to raise money for Foundation for Change. You can donate to this via the link to Gofund me in our bio. 🚴‍♀️

Last week, we held a ending at our offices for our graduates. We had brilliant time as you can see from the big smiles on our faces!

It was a chance to celebrate our community and acknowledge all the wonderful, beautiful and often challenging work that has taken place within the walls of our office, by both the FfC team and our graduates.

We’ll be leaving our offices in mid-September, so we wanted to create an opportunity for people to come together, say goodbye to the space and celebrate everything that has happened here.

We’re really to be leaving such a beautiful, calming and safe space but we know that the work doesn’t belong to a building. Wherever we end up, the learning, connection and community will continue.

19/08/2026

On 13 September, our Comms & Admin Officer, Antonia, will be taking on the London to Brighton Bike Ride to raise much-needed funds for Foundation for Change.

Our courses are free for people in recovery, helping them build self-esteem and discover their potential beyond addiction. We’re committed to keeping our work free, but that relies on the generosity of people who believe in what we do.

Antonia knows first-hand the impact our courses can have. She completed both Psychology for Change and Feminism for Change, and the experience had a profound impact on her own recovery.

Now working full-time at Foundation for Change, she understands just how important our work is, and the sense of freedom, possibility and peace our courses can bring to people.

Please support Antonia by making a donation, however big or small, or share her fundraising page with your network. Every donation helps us continue offering our courses for free.

With our latest Psychology for Change ending in July, we’ll be taking a short break before our next course begins in the autumn. But that doesn’t mean the learning or connection stops.

Over the coming months, we’ve got a range of activities planned for our Community Network. These events give our graduates the opportunity to reconnect, meet new people, and continue building on everything they’ve learned during the course.

Our Community Network has been growing steadily over the past few years, developing into a supportive community of graduates who continue to learn from one another long after graduation. It’s an important part of our approach, and we’re excited to keep developing it even further.

If you’re one of our graduates and would like to be part of the Community Network, we’d love to hear from you. Get in touch and we’ll make sure you’re signed up to receive our newsletter and invitations to upcoming events.

Three courses down, and we’re super proud of this one!

So far this year, we’ve run three courses, and when we looked back at our feedback, one statistic really stood out:

100% of our graduates rated having a greater sense of their own capability as a 4 or 5 out of 5 on the last day of their course.

We’re slightly gobsmacked but so proud of this!

A huge part of our approach at FfC is about empowering people to recognise their own strengths, build confidence and see more possibilities for their futures. We want people to leave our courses with new knowledge and a stronger belief in what they are capable of.

And it looks like our approach is making a difference.

We believe everyone, not just people in recovery, should have the opportunity to feel capable of creating change, growth and possibility in their lives. We’re developing a new area of work to take our methodology out into the wider world - watch this space.
