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 missio

n 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.

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.

At a time where life for a lot of people feels incredibly challenging - rising costs of living, uncertainty and anxiety about our climate, the increased divisions and inequalities in our society to name a few - we’re always moved when we hear our graduates mention how capable they feel after completing our courses.

How, despite the challenges of the moment, there is still a feeling of possibility opening up in front of them. This quote from one of our graduates captures this beautifully.

Last week, our Community Network came together for a catch-up in Kensington Gardens before visiting Kensington Palace’s latest exhibition, The Last Princess of Punjab.

It was lovely to catch up with some of our graduates and to hear how everyone is getting on.

Our Community Network days are a reminder that recovery doesn’t have to happen alone. Building supportive relationships and a sense of community can make all the difference, and we’re so grateful to see our graduates continuing to learn, grow and support one another long after finishing our courses.

Last week we celebrated the graduation of our 30th Psychology for Change course - a milestone that felt incredibly special to us.

At every graduation, we ask our graduates to describe their experience in just three words, and we absolutely loved this response.

If you’d like to help more people access our unique approach to recovery, please visit our website to find out how you can support our work. Every donation helps us reach more people and keep our courses free and accessible.

This quote sums up a huge part of our approach at Foundation for Change.

One of the biggest takeaways from our courses is that recovery belongs to the individual.

By understanding the root causes of addiction, and how trauma and life experiences continue to shape us, people gain the knowledge to make informed choices about what supports their recovery.

There is no single path to recovery. When people have the confidence and agency to choose what works for them, recovery becomes authentic and empowering.

In our recent blog, Antonia generously shares her own experience of what we’ve come to refer to as ‘recovery fatigue’, reflecting on what contributed to this for her, and what helped her to challenge and change this pattern.

At FfC we encourage taking time to pause, slow down and rest. After being in distress and surviving the impacts of inequality, trauma and addiction, our mind and bodies need this. We also know it can feel unfamiliar and scary.

Within our power and trauma-informed approach we see the benefits of taking breaks in between intensive recovery work, and actively encourage people to allow space to reflect and put into practice what they have and are learning. 

Read more about the concept of ‘recovery fatigue’ and Antonia’s lived experience on our website via the link in our bio.

There are many misconceptions about what addiction and recovery looks like.

At FfC, we’re committed to challenging the stigma and shame surrounding addiction. We deliberately choose to see a whole person, with a range of life experiences, and so much strength, potential and resilience.

We can all do our part to better understand the realities of addiction and recovery.

Swipe through our top five myths about addiction and please like, and share for others to see.

This week, we came together as a team to reflect and start planning for the months ahead. With some big changes on the way, taking the time to reconnect felt more important than ever.

A huge thank you to the wonderful for hosting us once again, we’re so grateful for your continued support.
