The Forward Trust
The Forward Trust is a British charity that helps people with drug and alcohol dependence. Previously known as RAPt (the Rehabilitation for Addicted Prisoners Trust), it was relaunched in 2017 as Forward Trust after merging with Blue Sky organization.
RAPt was established in 1991 as the Addictive Diseases Trust when Peter Bond, a recovering alcoholic, observed the success of abstinence-based programmes in the United States. He, Jonathan Wallace, Isabelle Laurent, Louise Gibbings, Matthew Wilson and Michael Meakin, set up a charity to meet the needs of drug addicts in UK prisons.
In 1992 The Addictive Diseases Trust opened the first intensive drug rehabilitation programme in a UK prison in a Portakabin at HMP Downview in Surrey. The actor Sir Anthony Hopkins, an early supporter, provided much-needed funds and remains a patron.
Catherine, Princess of Wales, a patron of the charity, delivered the keynote speech at the launch of the charity's 2021 Taking Action on Addiction campaign.
