About Sober Bootcamp UK CIC

Dignity

Sober Bootcamp UK CIC was developed from lived experience and a belief that recovery needs more than occasional appointments. For many people, rebuilding life in recovery also means developing routine, improving physical and emotional wellbeing, building positive relationships and finding meaningful goals.

Community

Recovery can become stronger when people have positive relationships, meaningful activity and somewhere they feel they belong.

Accountability

We use recovery planning, individual goals and regular reviews to help members maintain structure and recognise progress.

Lived Experience Driven

The Vision Behind Sober Bootcamp UK CIC

Recovery shouldn't just be about stopping drugs or alcohol. It should be about building a life you no longer want to escape from.
Sober Bootcamp UK CIC was created through lived experience.
Our Founder, Mason Ross, experienced years of addiction, trauma and loss before rebuilding his life through recovery. That journey highlighted a gap that Sober Bootcamp was created to help fill:
What happens after someone gets sober?
We want to help people rebuild the things addiction can take away — health, confidence, routine, friendships, skills, purpose and hope for the future.
Our Leicester Recovery & Wellness Centre will bring together fitness, nutrition, therapeutic support, peer connection, sober activities and pathways into education, training and employment.
We're not here to replace existing addiction, mental-health or healthcare services.
We want to help connect the pieces.
Our vision is to create a community where people don't simply survive recovery — they begin enjoying life again.
Crisis → Recovery → Stability → Confidence → Purpose → Independence
We want to prove this approach in Leicester, measure its impact and ultimately bring the model to other communities.
Because getting sober isn't the end of someone's story.
It can be the beginning of an entirely new one.
