We are on the look out for new volunteers to support us with our fundraising and events!

Support would be required on an ad-hoc basis to help out at things like collection days, community events or our own fundraising events. A truly rewarding and exciting role, which would always be different!

We are totally flexible, provide travel expenses, training and a charity shop discount, and access to free food and meals (where possible).

If you are interested in getting involved, get in contact at francesca@aspirationsprogram.org.uk

I hope to hear from you soon!

Aspirations venue number 4 pending! Our day program is on the move again to make space for another office as our team continues to grow. We are in need of our community's support. Do you know any companies that can donate paint & materials? We are going to need a small kitchen unit & bathroom sink & flooring. If you know any companies who could help our wonderful charity out, we will give a huge shout out on all our socials, which has a total of 20k followers combined. We will also be needing some volunteers to help paint the venue. Please share & as always, thank you for your continued support.

A Message from Aspirations

2025 has been another incredible year for us. We witnessed graduate #100 has completed our 12-week recovery program, and the numbers have now grown to 138. This milestone represents 138 families reunited, 138 individuals who have entered into education, training, or employment, and many more who have transitioned from supported living to independent living, maintaining their own tenancies and becoming productive members of society.

Our women's only and outreach services have made a profound impact, supporting women who have exited street prostitution and domestic violent relationships. Who have moved from supported accommodation to independent flats, attending college and volunteer placements.

Our family support system has made a difference this Christmas, supporting 48 families and providing Christmas presents for 47 children.

We've evolved our services, our road to recovery groups extending into men's and women's only groups, and transitioning to secure systems. We've also hosted monthly fundraisers, demonstrating our commitment to growth and sustainability.

From humble beginnings from my living room, Aspirations has grown steadily, with many highs and lows along the way. We're remembering our dedicated volunteer, David, and keeping his family in our thoughts this Christmas.

As we close for the holidays, our women's only service will be open on December 29th, while our shop and day program will reopen on January 2nd.

Thank you to our partners , supporters & funders who have walked alongside us this year. The Aspirations team wishes you a happy and healthy new year.
