About
Change Grow Live (CGL) is a national health and social care charity based in Brighton, United Kingdom. Founded in 1977 as Crime Reduction Initiatives (CRI), the organisation rebranded to Change Grow Live in 2016 to better reflect its evolving mission and approach to supporting individuals in need. As a voluntary sector organisation, CGL specialises in substance misuse support and criminal justice intervention projects across England and Wales. The charity provides comprehensive support to individuals facing challenges including drug and alcohol addiction, housing difficulties, domestic abuse, mental and physical wellbeing concerns, justice system involvement, employment issues, and smoking cessation. CGL operates through local services across the country, delivering wraparound support that addresses both practical and emotional needs. The organisation is guided by core values of being open, compassionate, and bold. CGL believes in treating everyone as an individual, providing support with respect and care, and working collaboratively with service users to create meaningful, lasting change in their lives. Their approach includes harm reduction education, overdose prevention programmes such as Naloxone provision, and through-the-gate support for individuals transitioning from custody to community. As an accredited Real Living Wage employer, CGL is committed to supporting its workforce while making a positive difference in communities throughout the UK.
