We’re all about people power and lived experience. At Kennedy Street, we’re building a community where those who have battled addiction lead the charge in recovery.
Recovery is possible. With the right support anyone can turn their life around.
The opposite of addiction is connection. Together we can rebuild our lives.
Smashing stigmas, sharing our stories, and showing the world that recovery rocks.
We believe that with the right support anyone can recover from addiction. After all, Kevin and I have been there. Twenty-eight years ago, a doctor told us to “just stop drinking.” We couldn’t. We didn’t know how to. And we didn’t know where to turn. But Kevin and I were some of the lucky ones. We were able to afford private rehab and therapy. We did recover and are now over 25 years sober. However, not everyone is so lucky.
That’s why we set up Kennedy Street — to give everyone a chance to recover, no matter their life circumstances. We use our own stories to inspire hope in others and to create a community that cares. Together we transform lives.
With love,
As a small independent charity, we rely on the kindness of our donors. There are lots of ways to get involved, from donating directly, organising events or fundraising on our behalf.
