Kenward Trust

Kenward Trust A charity founded in 1968, saving and transforming lives of people with alcohol and drug addiction

Kenward Trust is a registered charity with a Christian heritage and ethos that deals with drug and alcohol misuse, homelessness and offender resettlement. We run residential, community and youth programmes across Kent and East Sussex. Last year we provided structured treatments for 721 people and support and brief interventions to countless others. We have grown over the last 42 years to deliver n

ationally recognised, effective and successful drug and alcohol recovery programmes for adults. We offer a pathway of care from informal advice sessions to three years residential support, with proven intensive residential recovery through to supported housing rehabilitation programmes. In the community we offer people the support of an alcohol detox service, local alcohol information and advice clinics and a variety of workshops to help people address issues around alcohol and drug misuse. Historically we have worked with young people in schools, youth groups and ‘on the streets’, including young people who are at risk of school exclusion or have made a first criminal offence – now under threat from statutory funding cuts.

What if this was the moment everything changed?

At Kenward House, recovery isn’t just about stopping addiction, it’s about healing trauma, rebuilding confidence, and creating a future filled with hope.

Through our 12-Step programme, trauma-informed therapy, EMDR, therapeutic gardens, fellowship meetings and ongoing Recovery Plus support, we walk alongside each resident every step of the way.

You are not alone. A new beginning is possible.

Take the first step today.

A MASSIVE thank you to Libby and Bel! 🏅

They did it. After months of dedication, determination and courage, they’ve crossed the finish line of the Brighton Marathon.

“It was hard, exhilarating, exhausting & very emotional… but we did it.”

Their journey is about so much more than 26.2 miles. It’s about turning lived experience into strength, raising awareness, lifting stigma, and opening up conversations around addiction and recovery.

Thanks to their incredible efforts - and your generosity, they’ve raised an amazing £1,181 to support Kenward Trust.

We couldn’t be more grateful. 💙
