Preventing relapse by supporting people in recovery from drug and alcohol addiction

  • Matt Haworth

Along with our partner The Well, we received a small research grant from Comic Relief to find a digital support solution for people in abstinence based recovery.


The Challenge
Drug and alcohol addiction affects over a million people in the UK – a demand that charities struggle to meet in a traditional offline capacity.
Along with our partner The Well we worked to find a digital solution that could help support people in recovery, at scale.

The Result
Co-designing and workshopping with our partners at The Well helped to produce, a theory of change model, a successful pilot group - which actually prevented test volunteers from relapsing, and a user tested prototype.
This work has acted as a springboard to further funding.
