Recover Together

Who we are

Recover Together is a charity shaped and driven by lived experience, offering free support across the UK to anyone affected by the harm caused by gambling, whether through their own gambling or the gambling of someone close to them. Recognising that shame and stigma can be some of the biggest barriers to reaching out, Recover Together meets everyone with empathy and without judgment. It creates a safe and supportive space where people can take positive steps forward and build a purposeful life in recovery.

Our culture and values

Our Vision is a world where every person affected by gambling harm can go on to live a fulfilled life, built on connection, hope and opportunity.

Our mission is to create safe, judgement-free spaces where people affected by gambling harm feel heard, supported and able to build on their strengths and move forward. Guided by lived experience, we take a person-centred approach, meeting people where they are and walking alongside them in recovery. We connect people to the right support at the right time, nurturing hope, dignity and lasting change.

Our Values are:

• We speak up, challenge stigma and lead with honesty, even when it’s difficult.
• We support without judgement, grounded in lived experience and genuine understanding, creating spaces where people feel safe and hopeful.
• We walk alongside individuals, communities and partners, strengthening local networks of support.
• We value every voice. We work to remove barriers so that people feel seen, heard and respected, whatever their background or circumstances.
• We believe in the strength of recovery. We offer encouragement, accountability and space for people to find their own path, at their own pace, towards a life that feels meaningful to them.

Equality, diversity and inclusion policy

We are firmly committed to creating and maintaining an environment where every person accessing our services, employee and member of the public is welcomed, valued and treated with dignity. We believe that fairness, respect, and inclusiveness are fundamental to our work and how we interact with others. This means ensuring that all individuals are given equal opportunities to participate, contribute and benefit from our services, without fear of discrimination or disadvantage. 

We actively promote a culture in which diversity is recognised as a strength. All individuals will be treated fairly and with respect regardless of their age, disability, gender, marital or civil partnership status, membership or non-membership of a trade union, race, religion or belief, domestic or family circumstances, sexual orientation, ethnic or national origin, social or employment status, or gender reassignment. 

We are committed to removing barriers to inclusion wherever they exist and to making reasonable adjustments to support individuals’ needs. Discrimination, harassment, or exclusion of any kind is not tolerated, and we take responsibility for promoting equality in all aspects of our work. 

Through these principles, we strive to ensure that every person is treated with fairness, kindness, and consideration, reinforcing our commitment to equality, diversity, and inclusion at all times.
