Where you would be referred to

There are currently three centres, two for women and one for men.

Hope House and Hope Acres (Women)
Hope House opened in April 1996 and Hope Acres in June 2001. In an atmosphere of Christian love, dedicated and caring staff seek to provide a high quality residential programme which will produce positive and lasting changes in each student who completes it.

All residents receive mentoring on a personal basis and our goal is to help them discover the personal strengths and necessary life skills to live totally free from life-controlling problems.

We offer a twelve month residential programme for women between 18 and 35 years of age who are searching for the answers to their life controlling problems, especially drug and/or alcohol addictions.

The structured programme is based upon Christian principles and is finely balanced between the classroom and practical vocational activities which includes basic computer and keyboard skills, health and beauty courses, handcrafts and general house-keeping skills.

Challenge House
Up to twenty staff endeavour to make the lives of the residents as pleasant and successful as possible. All residents receive mentoring on a personal basis. Facilities at Challenge House includes a volleyball court, table tennis, pool table and a gym. A chapel is available for those woh wish to have quietness.
