On Sunday 10th October the Brown-Forman UK Live Well team will be running the London Royal Parks Half Marathon on behalf of Changes UK.
Changes UK vision is to enable a future where anyone can find recovery from addiction, restore connection with their families/communities and live a life with dignity, hope and purpose.
In 2019 drug related deaths were the highest ever on record, huge reductions in public funding has closed multiple recovery centres making it increasingly more difficult to access treatment.
Addiction is particularly difficult to escape for disadvantaged individuals who do not have the means to pay for private treatment. Following Lottery funding this year Changes UK is extending its services to include an innovative, affordable detox centre that continues to support those who have no means to pay. The centre is due to open its doors this Autumn 2021.
Families are a crucial part of the recovery process and we want to raise £10,000 to purchase a family visiting/counselling room which gives families the privacy and space to reconnect and the opportunity to be part of their loved ones treatment programme.
Thank you so much in advance for your support!
