Pioneering, Supporting and Delivering Transformative Projects across Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole
We support over 100 passionate and dedicated volunteers, and partner with other charities and organisations to deliver life-changing and high-impact projects to those in need across our town. Here's a snapshot of what we do.
Supporting Addiction Recovery
With 30 volunteers we’ve supported 52 people through The STAR Life Course, a transformative in-person programme designed to help individuals dealing with addictive habits or behaviours.
Supporting International Students
We fund and support ‘International Café’, a weekly social event for students from all over the world to connect, have fun, learn about other cultures, and receive practical and emotional support.
Money Coaching
We use the revoluntionary CAP Money Course to help people develop budgeting skills so they can save, spend wisely, and prevent or reduce debt! We’ve run 7 courses for over 25 people.
Housing the Homeless
Partnering with Hope into Action, we currently give 3 ex-rough sleepers a safe and secure home, friendship, and the support they need to rebuild their lives.
Sporting Activities
We support a weekly men’s basketball, table tennis, and football. Each build social, physical, and mental health, and develop skills. Combined they connect with over 60 each week.
Transforming Communities
Through Joy Café, we build community in an area of high deprivation. That’s everything from our ‘Pay it Forward’ and free ‘Joy Brews’, to art and wellbeing workshops, to family fun days!
