The Road to Recovery Trust is a registered charity in Newcastle which supports people to thrive in recovery. Our HQ is called George Street Social, based five minutes walk away from Newcastle Central Station.
We’re just coming to the end of a huge refurbishment at George Street Social. The café will re-open downstairs and there’s meeting rooms upstairs, used for 12 Step Fellowships and SMART recovery. We’re regular people, from all walks of life, who come together to support each other and create the conditions for recovery to manifest. Some things we do:
• Have a cuppa and share our stories
• (COMING SOON) Watch the footy together on our big screen
• Pick up a cue and enjoy a game of pool
There’s a lot of laughter at George Street Social. We’re not a dull bunch! Many organisations work out of our facility, and we welcome anyone from addicts wanting to recover to the sober curious. Please come along, you’re very welcome!

A life dominated by addiction, destroys self-confidence, relationships with family and friends, can lead to financial ruin, health complications and even homelessness. When faced with this wreckage, it can be overwhelming, and the isolation that addiction brings means addicts can feel desperately alone. It’s no wonder relapse happens when addicts face this reality, but there is hope.
We support people recovering from all addictions, whether that is drugs, alcohol, gambling, co-dependency, sex addiction, the list is long. However we know that recovering addicts need a community to connect to, offering a desirable, alternative lifestyle, one full of support, hope and togetherness to sustain and maintain their recovery. That's where we come in.
Collaborative:
We work with those desiring or in recovery from all addictions and partner with other organisations to access meaningful support to maintain recovery.
