Welcome to Hope and Vision Communities

We provide supported, move-on accommodation for people who have successfully completed residential rehabilitation.

80% of people entering residential rehab have already lost their homes. Returning to housing insecurity increases the chance of relapse.

We provide more than just a place to live. Our communities give people a safe and stable home, alongside the support, structure and encouragement they need to move forward.

 

Our Resident Communities

We provide safe, supportive homes where people can continue their recovery, develop independence and build a positive future. Each location has its own character, but all are built around the same values of stability, connection, accountability and purpose. Each hub provides a safe, drug-and-alcohol-free environment tailored to the urgent housing needs of that specific community.
 
  • Reading – Our first established community, providing a stable home environment for men continuing their recovery. Residents benefit from a supportive community alongside opportunities to work, volunteer, retrain and develop healthy social connections.
     
  • Malvern – Our second men’s regional community, opening in Malvern to provide safe, stable accommodation for people in recovery. With 1 in 5 people entering addiction treatment in Worcestershire facing immediate homelessness, our community offers a vital home and a foundation for rebuilding a positive, independent future.
     
  • Gloucester – We’re opening Gloucester’s first dedicated women’s recovery centre — and our charity’s first community created specifically to support women on their recovery journey! The community will offer a trauma-informed long-term place for women to heal, rebuild their confidence and to develop independence.
     

As Hope and Vision Communities grows, so will our communities - creating more safe, supportive homes and extending our approach to recovery across the country.

What Our Community Says...

We are dealing with a group of people who don't trust the system there to help them. Their barriers are often fear-based – a protection mechanism against trauma

Tony // //

Trauma is an emotional wound. We are forever managing its effect on us. Trauma sticks like tar

Will // //

People want to do everything they can to overcome their addiction and yet they want to do everything they can to avoid facing the trauma – in that confusing conflict of opposites the drugs and alcohol become the solution

Ray // //

We know that it is at the crisis points in life that relapse from recovery – especially early recovery - becomes a risk

Peter // //

80% of people told us that during their time in treatment they lost their home. Having achieved sobriety, they had nowhere to go

Louise // //

I have six months left until I leave rehab and I’m already starting to worry about this. Unless I have a well-paid job or supportive, generous family then it's going to be a very difficult time for me, of which I have neither at this time.
