## Activities

**Activities:** &#x27;It carries out activities or services itself&#x27;

**Purposes:** &#x27;the advancement of education&#x27;,&#x27;the advancement of health&#x27;,&#x27;the saving of lives&#x27;,&#x27;the relief of those in need by reason of age, ill-health, disability, financial hardship or other disadvantage&#x27;

**What the charity does:** Faces &amp; Voices of Recovery UK exists to ensure that everyone affected by addiction has a fair chance to recover, regardless of postcode or circumstance. Too often, people are denied access to detox, rehabilitation and support due to fragmented systems and inconsistent commissioning. We provide direct advocacy and casework, supporting individuals and families to navigate services, challenge decisions and access appropriate treatment, housing and mental health support. This is frontline work that secures real outcomes. We also strengthen recovery communities through national events and partnerships, making recovery visible and reducing stigma. Alongside this, we influence policy and public understanding by using lived experience and evidence to advocate for a system that prioritises recovery, not just maintenance. Our work is grounded in a simple belief: recovery is possible, and everyone deserves the chance to achieve it.

**Objectives:** 4 The organisation&#x27;s purposes are: - To promote the saving of lives and advancement of health by encouraging, empowering and educating people in recovery from addiction as well as those affected by addiction.  - To provide relief to those in recovery whose sustained recovery may be affected by reason of age, ill-health, disability, financial hardship or other disadvantage and strive to alleviate these.  And in furtherance thereof: - To raise funds to support the above.  To promote, plan and deliver a national UK Recovery Walk/Event in each year.  - To give a voice &amp; face to recovering people and provide support and information on where to get support to help people enter recovery and progress their lives, free from addiction.  - Promote other recovery activities to take place each year.  - To engage in activities year round that promote the annual UK walk throughout the UK and further afield where appropriate. - To work with appropriate local, regional and national organisations, services, political and governmental bodies to highlight and promote recovery
