Robert's Story

“I had been drinking since 1989. I was in a band and while we were on tour there’d be a party every night. I’d come home after touring and carry on that lifestyle. Waking up and drinking beer and vodka all day long. Getting up the next day and doing the same. People around me couldn’t live with what I had become and five years ago I broke up with the mother of my child.

Charlotte's Story - CoreKids

“Sounds awful but there were times when I thought of my son, Michael, as a burden. He would be crying all the time and I didn’t know how to make him stop, so I’d just leave him to cry. He was nearly two at the time and was hardly speaking and he used to hit and bite me and other kids.

Tanya's Story

Tanya, 36, from London was referred to The Core Trust for her addictions to both drugs and alcohol. She had been through many difficulties in her life, and her problems with alcohol and drugs gradually escalated to the point where she lost her job and her friends and became homeless. However, thanks to the programme at The Core Trust her life is back on track. She is now four years sober and has been drugs abstinent for five years and has a new career, a new home and a new life.

Julie's Story

"I remember how nervous I was on my first day at Core, and how the thought of having to go in everyday for a year nearly sent me scurrying for the hills.

Gary's Story

"These words drew me to Core ‘individual’ and ‘holistic’. Many things happened while at Core, my recovery had been a long time coming and I knew I wasn’t going to be in for an easy ride."
