WELCOME
We are a lived experience recovery organisation bringing support, connection and hope to individuals, families and communities affected by addiction.
Everyone deserves to live a meaningful, fulfilling and positive life.
SMART Recovery Fundraiser
We are working to bring more options to the people of Kent who want to find recovery from addiction.
In this case we are bringing SMART recovery meetings to 6 towns across Kent - Thanet, Canterbury, Dover, Maidstone, Ashford & Folkestone
SMART champions choice and provides a ‘toolbox’ of methods demonstrated in educational meetings that empower people to choose to change.
We are now beginning the process of training our volunteers to run the meetings.

What is ROAR?
Formed in 2023 we are a team of volunteers with lived experience of addiction, now working together to bring support and connection to all those in Kent affected by it as we have been.
We provide a voice to all those affected by problematic substance use in Kent, working to tackle stigma and contribute towards the further development and awareness of local drug & alcohol service provision in our area.
Our
Story
At ROAR we recognise that recovery looks different for every individual and understand the importance in our work of including those who do not wish to be abstinent.
We are passionate about harm reduction, aiming to meet individuals where they’re at and subsequently ensure we do all we can to manage the risks associated with alcohol/substance use.
