Kenward Trust is a UK charity that helps people take positive steps away from addiction and towards a more stable, healthy and hopeful future. We work alongside individuals and families affected by substance misuse, offering practical support, structure and encouragement at the moments it matters most.

Our approach is built around compassion, accountability and long-term change. Through our services, people can access safe support to stabilise their lives, rebuild confidence and develop the skills they need to move forward. We understand that recovery is rarely a straight line, so we focus on consistent help, clear routines and a community that reduces isolation and creates belonging.

The impact of addiction can be felt across every part of life: relationships, work, housing, physical health and mental wellbeing. By supporting each person to address these challenges step by step, we help remove barriers and create real opportunities for lasting recovery. We also recognise the vital role of families and support networks, and we aim to strengthen those connections wherever possible.

By taking on a challenge event and fundraising for Kenward Trust, you are helping to provide life-changing support to people who are ready to make a change. Every pound raised contributes to specialist staff time, safe environments and the ongoing support people need to keep moving forward. Thank you for being part of someone’s recovery journey.

How Your Support Helps

Thank you for choosing to fundraise for Kenward Trust. Your support helps us provide vital, life-changing services for people affected by addiction, giving them the structure, care and encouragement they need to move towards recovery and rebuild their lives.

By signing up for an event place through our partner, you’re making a commitment to take on a challenge and to raise funds that will directly support our work. We ask all participants to set up their fundraising page as soon as possible, share it with friends, family and colleagues, and keep supporters updated with your training progress. Small, regular updates can make a big difference to the total you raise.

Fundraising targets help ensure the event has a meaningful impact for the charity. If you’re struggling to reach your target, please get in touch early — we can share ideas, resources and ways to boost donations. If you can no longer take part, let us know as soon as possible, as event places and registration fees are subject to the organiser’s deadlines and policies.

To protect our supporters and beneficiaries, we also ask that all fundraising is carried out safely, legally and respectfully. Please collect donations through your official fundraising page wherever possible, and ensure any cash donations are recorded and transferred promptly.

Every pound you raise helps Kenward Trust be there for people who are ready to change. We’re grateful you’re part of that journey, and we’ll be cheering you on all the way to the finish line.
