The Forward Trust The Forward Trust empowers people to break the cycles of addiction or crime to move forward with their lives. Since 1991, we have been working with people to build positive and productive futures. We believe that anyone is capable of lasting change. Our services, located in almost all regions of England (South West, South East, London, East of England, West Midlands, East Midlands, North West; and Yorkshire and the Humber) and Wales, have supported thousands of people to make changes to create better lives with jobs, family, friends and a sense of community.
