National Reunion 2027: Join us for a day of connection, celebration and recovery.
The Forward Trust is delighted to announce the date for our next mass reunion event, with all you need to know about our 2027 event listed below.
On Saturday, 23 January 2027 (11am - 4pm), we invite Forward Trust's community together for another inspiring, joyous and heartwarming national reunion.
Once again, this will be hosted at St John of Hackney / Hackney Church, London.
This is an inclusive event that welcomes clients, graduates, alumni, staff, volunteers, peer mentors, family members and friends to celebrate stories from our recovery community - and all those who contribute to it.
The event provides a relaxed and unhurried chance for people to catch up with old friends, make new connections, enjoy live creative and artistic performances, and hear many inspiring stories of people that have had their lives transformed in recovery - often through the help and support of a Forward Trust support service.
Taking Part in The Big Addiction Conversation
This year, we'll also be highlighting the work of our current evergreen campaign, Taking Action on Addiction.
This year's theme is The Big Addiction Conversation.
Using conversation cards developed specifically for this year's campaign, we'll encourage open and honest discussions about addiction, helping people build connections, reflect on their experiences, and challenge stigma together.
Lunch and refreshments will be provided throughout the event
