About Us

First Step Recovery (Registered Charity No: 1211417) is led and supported by people who have survived active addiction and are living in recovery. We can recover together! Our drive for helping others find recovery is our primary purpose. We are the change that shows others that change is possible.

All of our Trustees have been affected by addiction in one form or another, whether it be in active addiction themselves or family members of loved ones in addiction. We know the pain and devastation attached to living in that life and not knowing there is a way out.

Our staff and volunteers understand the fears associated with finding recovery and we believe one addict can best understand another addict.

Our empathy, compassion and understanding to the difficulties people go through on their journey may be the difference that person has been looking for. We will walk side by side our service users to get them to where they want to be.
