Big Love Hope Course: Supporting Women Through Addiction

Donate

A Life-Changing Course

The Big Love Hope Course is a six-week programme providing vital support for women recovering from drug and alcohol addiction, referred to us by our partner, Open Road. These remarkable women are a joy to work with, and the course has already impacted 40 lives, with many participants later joining our team to help others on the same journey. Each course costs £600 to run and supports a dedicated facilitator who works with the women one day a week for six weeks.

Kids Hope Course 2025 Launching in 2025, our Kids Hope Course is designed to support primary school children as they navigate key life transitions. Through engaging sessions, we’ll cover topics like self-esteem, boundaries, managing emotions, and the power of kindness, all tailored to build resilience and positive values. This interactive programme aims to empower children with the tools they need for well-being and confidence, laying a strong foundation as they approach secondary school.

Expanding Our Reach

Currently delivered in Chelmsford and Basildon, the Big Love Hope Course has the potential to expand into even more areas with the right facilitators, offering critical support to women walking through addiction.

Over the year ahead we would love to train up more facilitators to take the course into more centres working with vulnerable adults.

Our team has also delivered the course overseas with our Romanian partners, Outstretched Hands, supporting over 50 women in local villages through translated sessions.

Hope in Action

The Hope Course is changing lives, one step at a time. Hear directly from those who’ve walked the journey a powerful testimony of transformation, resilience, and new beginnings.
