Where Hope

Becomes Reality

On March 11th, 2021, Better Way Recovery became a registered charity — transforming a shared vision into a lasting movement. Just months later, on November 1st, 2021, our first recovery centre opened its doors in Lichfield.

What began as one small local hub has now grown into multiple thriving community spaces across the region — each led by people with lived experience, offering understanding, compassion, and support six days a week for anyone ready to begin their recovery journey.
