Faithworks Arch Recovery

Stability for your journey ahead 

Problems relating to addiction, homelessness and destructive habits are growing. They can affect mental and physical wellbeing, of both the individual, and those around them.

We believe that, with someone to journey alongside, there is hope.  Our Arch Recovery programme offers supported activities which create routine, offer practical and emotional support, friendship, purpose and help with access to services. Through our activities we regularly see and are able to celebrate progressive outcomes.

Our activities are hosted in safe spaces and positive community environments – both key elements to help individuals create a solid platform to progress from at their own pace.  Referrals can be made by external agencies, in-house or individuals are able to self-refer.

We offer a range of support for those in addiction and those affected by someone else’s addiction under the banner of Faithworks Arch Recovery including:

  • Purposeful activities
  • Bespoke 1:1 support and action planning for the recovery journey with our team of support workers
  • Resources from the STAR (Steps to Active Recovery) charity such as the STAR Life Course and the STAR Life Support Group

Arch Recovery: One to One Support

We take time to listen to your story and agree a plan with you to help you on your recovery journey. We will meet with you on a regular basis to ask how things are going.  We will also celebrate any “landmarks” that you have seen such as improvements in mental or physical health, opportunities to volunteer or train, getting life admin sorted like bank accounts, or attending a course regularly. Even little victories can be huge successes.

We provide support with essential tasks such as managing benefits online, applying for ID, skills for life training, as well as access to support with recovery. 

STAR Life Course

A free recovery course for those who are struggling with addictions. Based on the 12 steps model focusing on the mind, body and spirit. Suitable in helping to deal with any addiction or habit.  Run in conjunction with a partner organisation, please call the office for more details.

Invest in a Home

We partner with Hope into Action to provide homes for those escaping homelessness. Local investors buy a property and then lease it to Faithworks; working alongside local churches individuals or families to build a home, friendships and find confidence for the future.

“People don’t just need shelter; they need a home: a place of safety & friendship.”
