Our Malvern Recovery
Community for Men

Hope and Vision Communities is launching a new Men’s Community in Malvern, Worcestershire, bringing our proven approach to an area where the need for supported recovery housing is growing.
Around 22% of people entering drug treatment in Worcestershire report urgent housing problems, showing the close link between addiction recovery and access to safe accommodation, according to the Drugs and Alcoholic Needs Assessment by Worcestershire County Council.
Our decision to develop a community in Malvern has been shaped by strong relationships with local recovery services and professionals who see first-hand the challenges people face when leaving treatment.
Help us opening a new community in Malvern!

The goal is simple - move on stronger than you arrived.

Recovery thrives where there is structure, dignity, and belonging.

The Homes

We are looking to open our first house in Malvern. If you are a landlord and are keen to work with us, please contact us! We are looking for 3-bed houses in safe, quiet neighbourhoods. Each home will be decorated to a high standard and fully furnished.

We have implemented a REAL rent model (Realistic, Ethical, Adaptive, Liveable). When a man moves into employment, he will be required to pay rent at a market rate that is low enough to be affordable, but not so low as to prevent him from transitioning into fully independent living.

Tailored Support

Our team of key workers with lived experience will support our residents from the first point of contact in a personalised way, all the way until they have moved on into a home of their own.

This includes learning vital life skills - such as paying bills, cooking, and budgeting - while also receiving the emotional support needed to grow in recovery.

Community feel

It is good to know you are not alone. Our residents are helping each other, have community meals with each other, can share their experiences and feel they are belonging. 

They all take part in volunteering activities outside the charity, as part of rebuilding their lives.
