HOPS supports the increased wellbeing of anyone in need through holistic therapies and therapeutic activities. We notably support unpaid carers, older people and individuals with chronic health conditions. We assist people on the path to good all round health.
We provide holistic and massage therapies (including massage, reiki, Indian head massage, shiatsu and reflexology) to help reduce their pain and stress.
We organise mindful group activities to encourage social interaction and peer support in a safe, calm space, for example Mindful Movement, Qi Kong, breathwork, Meditation and mindful craft activities.
We organise weekly yoga, singing and circle dance sessions to encourage gentle movement, thoughtful practice and social engagement.
We provide physical and emotional support to those experiencing health issues, caring responsibilities, social isolation or financial difficulties. We provide a lifeline through dark times, and our motto Feel Better, Stay Well encapsulates this vision.
