With our first home in Malvern due to open very soon, Tony and Russell took some time out last week to attend first ever West Midlands Regional Partners Day at Birmingham Central Baptist Church.

As always it was great to catch up with our project manager Karl Reece and our other charity partners to connect, share and learn about best practice in supported accommodation!

This , we’re celebrating something special about Hope and Vision Communities: our monthly community meals.

Once a month, our residents come together in the kitchen to prepare a meal for everyone to enjoy. There’s cooking, sharing of experiences and sitting down together for some home-cooked food.

These meals are about so much more than what’s on the plate. They’re about getting to know each other, building friendships and creating a place where everyone feels welcome.

For us it’s the simple things, like cooking and sharing a meal, that can create community.

After nearly 20 years of addiction, Russell knows first-hand how hard recovery can be, especially when you’re trying to find your feet again in the world.

Now, five years on from leaving rehab, he’s the Project Manager for our Malvern Men’s Community, where he will help our future residents find their own path forward.

In one of our latest blog articles, Russell talks about his own challenges with staying in recovery, managing his emotions and finding purpose. He also shares the importance of having a support network of people who believe in you, even when you struggle to believe in yourself. Having a community around you can make all the difference.

Now, he gets to be that person for someone else.

💙 A huge thank you to !

We’re so grateful to have received a £10,000 grant from Berkshire Community Foundation to support the work of our key workers in our Reading Men’s Community.

Our key workers are there through the ups and downs, helping the men we support look after their physical and mental health, feel safe, and work towards a more positive future. This funding will help us continue to provide that support when it matters most.

Berkshire Community Foundation has been one of our first and longest-standing funders, and we’re incredibly thankful for their continued belief in what we do and the difference it makes.

Thank you for being part of our journey and helping us be there for the residents who need us.

💙 Volunteer with us!

Behind each of our residents' new beginnings is a community of people who care. Sometimes, that support looks like donating your time, sharing a skill, or simply being part of something meaningful.

We're currently looking for volunteers to support us with:
• Communications
• Video Editing & Social Media Content Creation
• Bookkeeping

If you have time to spare and would like to use your skills to support our residents they work towards rebuilding their lives, we'd love to hear from you!

Yesterday Tony had the pleasure of attending The Big Addiction Conversation, hosted by as part of Addiction Awareness Week.

The event created space for honest conversations, shared experiences and a closer look at how we can change the way Britain talks about addiction. It was great to hear from speakers and voices across the addiction and recovery community, including our friend , all with the same message - we need more understanding, less stigma and meaningful action that helps people feel safe enough to ask for support.

At Hope and Vision Communities, we know that recovery isn’t just about overcoming addiction. It's about community, connection and having people around you to help you create a more positive future.

The Big Addiction Conversation has set a goal of starting 17,000 conversations about addiction, one for every person who loses their life prematurely to drug or alcohol-related causes in the UK each year. Thank you to The Forward Trust team and everyone involved for creating a space where these important conversations can happen.

A huge thank you to the , who have awarded us £7,500 in funding towards the cost of a Women’s Recovery Practitioner for our first women’s home in Gloucester!

As we get closer to welcoming our first residents, this support feels so important. Our key worker will be there to help women navigate life after rehab, work through the challenges of addiction recovery and rebuild their confidence so they can move forward at their own pace.

We’re incredibly grateful to The Openwork Partnership Foundation for helping us put this much-needed support in place. Big shoutout to for supporting our application and believing in what we’re building.

Recovery isn’t always about the big moments. Sometimes, it’s simply having a safe place to call home.

Getting up and going to work.
Going for a walk with a friend.
Running in all weathers.
Playing football with the neighbours.
Sharing a slice of cake.
Feeling part of a community again.

And, after years of feeling numb, finding yourself having a proper belly laugh.

For Stephen, a resident at Hope and Vision Communities in Reading, recovery has been a long journey. After years of struggling with he**in addiction and completing rehabilitation, he is now rebuilding his life from one of our accommodation properties and looking towards the future.

It's been about taking each day as it comes – finding stability, reconnecting with people, having a sense of purpose and enjoying the simple things in life again.

We're proud to share Stephen's story, and grateful to him for being willing to share it.

We believe recovery is about more than simply stopping substance use. It’s about having the right person-centred support around you to build a healthier, brighter future.

That’s why our approach brings together support, structure, accountability, connection and opportunities to grow - all within a community where people can feel valued around others who have similar lived experience.

From one-to-one key working and employment support, to house meetings, weekly groups, shared responsibilities and volunteering opportunities, there are many ways for our residents to be involved, build confidence and develop the skills needed for independent living in recovery.

Every part of our community life has a purpose - helping people take positive steps forward, at their own pace.
