For over two decades, Jericho House Derby and now The Living Recovery Foundation have been helping individuals and families rebuild their lives from addiction, homelessness, offending, prison, trauma, and hopelessness. Over the years we have supported local men from areas such as Chaddesden and across Derby who had spent years, and in many cases decades, trapped in cycles of addiction, crime, imprisonment, homelessness, broken relationships, poor mental health, and social exclusion. Today, many of those same individuals are now completely drug and alcohol free and living healthy, stable and productive lives. What makes us especially proud is that so many of our former residents now go on to give back to the very communities and services that once helped them survive. Former Jericho residents now work across Derby and beyond within recovery services, supported housing projects, probation services, social care, healthcare, mental health services, charities, outreach projects, construction, education, and community organisations. Some have become peer mentors, support workers, managers, business owners, volunteers, parents, students, and leaders within their own communities. Many are now helping others escape the same cycles they once believed were impossible to break. This is not luck. This is long-term recovery support in action. What many people do not see is that some of the most important work we do remains completely unfunded. The aftercare support. The mentoring. The relapse prevention. The supported housing. The rebuilding of confidence, routine, responsibility and healthy support systems. The support with education, training, employment, benefits, tenancy sustainment and family relationships. This is the foundation that allows people to achieve lasting recovery and true independence. For years we have continued this work by cutting costs, fundraising, sacrificing, volunteering extra hours, and stretching every penny possible simply to keep the doors open because the need for these services has never gone away. In fact, demand is now higher than ever. The community continues to stand behind us because people can see the impact with their own eyes. Jericho has spent more than 20 years building a recovery model based on lived experience, accountability, structure, compassion, purpose, and community. The results speak for themselves through the lives restored, the families reunited, the careers rebuilt, and the positive contribution our former residents now make across Derby every single day. But this work cannot continue without support. As we move into the next phase of our development and expansion, we are calling on local authorities, businesses, organisations, funders, and the wider community to stand with us and invest in supporting our own people, our own families, and our own city.
