I am taking on this challenge, in memory of my nephew Troy, to raise funds that will help this charity continue to do the amazing works they do, helping those who have become addicted to alcohol and/or drugs as a coping mechanism. To help people realise that taking drugs 'socially' can lead to mental illness, which can result in them taking their own life. Or taking drugs with 'mates' but your system can't handle it and you die on the spot, that's one hell of a 'misadventure'.

Kenward Trust offers residential rehabilitation in Kent for those with alcohol and drug addiction issues, as well as supporting family and friends of those affected by addiction. You can either self-refer and come to Kenward for treatment directly, or you can be referred from an external agency.

At Kenward Trust, we give residents choices on how to manage their own recovery, through a structured programme. In Kenward House, we take a Therapeutic Community approach, which is a participative, group-based method for treating alcohol and drug addiction, as well as retaining many aspects of the Recovery Model of treatment delivery, where recovery is seen as more of a journey, rather than an aim of treatment.

In The Barn, we offer a safe place to find and develop an understanding of the 12 Step Programme, designed for people to help one another achieve and maintain abstinence from their addiction. We create personalised recovery plans, as we understand that one size does not fit all, and so we offer varied solutions.

Our Vision, Mission and Values underpin the way we help people in crisis. We aim to reach out to those who are on the margins of society and we believe that everyone deserves a second chance. People with mental and physical health needs; people who seek the road to recovery.
