We are not a front line service and are not available 24 hours a day. If you need immediate help or support with addiction, please seek professional help from your doctor or local addictions service.
If you need somebody to talk to now, please click the button below to see a list of front line services, including 24-hour support.
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.
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.
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.
