About us

The Forward Trust is a charity that empowers people to break the cycles of addiction or crime to move forward with their lives. Since 1991, we have been working with people to build positive and productive futures. We believe that anyone is capable of lasting change, whatever their past. Our services have supported thousands of people to make changes to create better lives with jobs, family, friends and a sense of community.

We’re a national organisation, with services located in the South-East of England, East Anglia, Yorkshire and the West Midlands. We are proud that around 40% of our workforce have lived experience of the issues we seek to address.
