Community Interest Company · Gloucestershire

Strength in Recovery, Hope in Community.

A community-led programme giving people a genuine second chance — built, led and delivered by people who have lived it.

Who we are

A second chance starts here.

Roads to Recovery is a Community Interest Company in Gloucestershire, built for people coming out of prison, on probation, or stepping out of active addiction. We exist because people leaving these situations don't need another service that talks at them. They need a space that walks alongside them.

We run a structured 12-week programme that gives people the tools, the routine, and the community to build something different — one honest week at a time.

The programme

New Roads Ahead.

Two hours a week. Peer-led. Workbook-driven. Real change, not leisure.

Reflect

Honest conversation, group work and reflective exercises. No shame, no spotlight, no war stories. Just the work.

Choose

Simple, usable tools for the moments that matter. Pause. Reflect. Make the next better move.

Build Forward

Earned progression into outdoor activities, fitness, and healthier routines — so the change sticks beyond the programme.

Who it's for

Built for the people who need it most.
