Our community offers opportunities for creativity, nature connection and meditation, supporting people in addiction recovery to live with meaning, purpose and joy.
See Our Mission page for more details.
We’re delighted to have a presence at this year’s Bloom Festival, May 12th, at Exeter Phoenix.
“A full day of free activities for the community, in partnership with a wide range of local groups and organisations, to promote good mental health and wellbeing. From discussions to workshops and creative performance, Bloom is here to encourage and enable discussion, raise awareness of the wide range of support and services available from local organisations, and to utilise creativity as a toolkit for expression and wellbeing.”
Come find us there!
Evaluations and Evidence for the Impact of our Work
100% of participants interviewed state that being part of Rite to Freedom has supported them to make more positive choices and choose healthier directions in their lives.
This artwork below of a Dartmoor landscape was created by Gill Thompson for our ongoing impact evaluation. It is an interactive, multimedia celebration of the work of the charity with click through elements highlighting aspects of our delivery - supporting long term trauma and addiction recovery through nature connection, meditation and creative practice.
