How we make a difference

Addiction Recovery

9 months of residential rehabilitation, built around the whole person model. Medical, psychological, social, and spiritual support -- all in one structured programme with a proven track record.

Housing

From emergency support to long-term settled housing. We work with people at every stage -- rough sleeping, transitional accommodation, and independent living -- across 7 sites in Ireland.

Education

Accredited Level 6 courses delivered on-site through our SETU partnership. In 2024, 111 people completed a third-level certificate while in recovery. Learning and healing at the same time.
