THE ROAD TO RECOVERY TRUST 

The Road to Recovery Trust promotes the principle of 12 step recovery for the benefit of individuals and the wider community. It was established by individuals inspired by the transformative effects of recovery in their own lives and in the lives of others, in order to use their experience to develop a full range of recovery services.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Established: 12 years
