Founded in 1998, Door of Hope exists to provide support, community, and discipleship for men in recovery from life-controlling addictions.
We offer supported accommodation in a family environment at Hope House in Reading, Berkshire, for men who have completed detox and rehab and need help building a strong foundation for the next stage of their lives.
Residents typically stay for around 2 years. We have supported more than 75 men to date.
