02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
Steps to Hope SCIO (also known as Steps to Hope) is established to provide aid and support to the homeless and those suffering from addiction. Homelessness and addiction are the prevalent social problems that we face in current society. At Steps to Hope, we are dedicated to highlighting this through charity. We use social media, and TV and radio interviews to focus awareness of the challenges of being homeless and/or in active addiction. We have within our team of volunteers, people who are themselves, addicts in recovery. They have lived experience, therefore understand addiction and may have been homeless themselves. We provide recovery accommodation and a comprehensive activity schedule for those who wish too engage in our recovery programme. We are committed to helping those suffering with addiction by offering them a pathway to a new life
