This September, to mark Recovery Month 2025, Taking Action on Addiction (TAOA), led by The Forward Trust, is launching an inspiring new campaign: the Road to Recovery.
The campaign invites people to celebrate their recovery by adding a ‘brick’ to a virtual pathway. Each brick represents the number of recovery days and carries a message of encouragement to someone still finding their way. Together, these bricks will form a symbolic road that demonstrates the power of recovery and the strength of the community behind it.
Building the path together
TAOA’s Road to Recovery is about inclusion. Recovery takes many forms, and this campaign recognises them all – whether from alcohol, drugs, gambling, mental health challenges, or other struggles. The campaign also features a recovery totaliser, showing the collective recovery time added by participants, proving that every milestone matters.
Through the TAOA campaign, we’re proud to support this campaign and encourage everyone, whether in recovery themselves, supporting a loved one, or simply standing in solidarity, to get involved.
How to take part
- Visit the campaign page.
- Choose your brick.
- Share your recovery milestone.
- (Optional) Leave a message of support and make a donation to help fund vital recovery services.
All donations raised can support people at the start of their recovery journey through the care, services, and community they need.
Join the movement
By adding your brick, you’ll be part of a growing message of hope: that recovery is possible, and no one has to walk the road alone.
This Recovery Month, help us and TAOA build a Road to Recovery – one brick, one step, one day at a time.
