RGA is taking learnings from successful and transformative self-help organisations for people in recovery across the globe including San Patrignano (Italy), Basta (Sweden) and Delancey Street (USA), which have been producing successful results helping people into long-term recovery, reintegrating into employment and mainstream society.

RGA is based on the same principles of abstinence, trust, firm boundaries, mutual support, social enterprise, respect for life, and responsibility. Participants receive personal developmental support alongside learning new skills and qualifications in a range of social enterprise activities and we also plan to open up links to universities and colleges to expand educational opportunities.
