Why we exist;

[1] With one fatal overdose in Ireland everyday giving Ireland the third highest rate of drug overdose in Europe Layton Kelly founded New Hope Residential Centre (NHRC) in 2007. [2]Key findings from the Drug Outcome Research in Scotland (DORIS) found that 76% of drug users questioned identified a single goal for their treatment; overwhelmingly that goal was to become drug free as their sole goal from drug treatment. This compares with 7.4% who cited that their goal was to stabilize their drug use. [3]The DORIS further found that only 3% of drug users on methadone were drug free nearly three years following the onset of treatment.

We exist to support those coming from addiction and homelessness or at risk of homelessness who are the most vulnerable in society, through to a life free from addiction and poverty. To enable these men to return to their families and community with the necessary skills and education to contribute to those communities. Ultimately our goal is to reduce relapse and to create a safer and healthier more inclusive society.
