What we do
The STAR model helps churches and organisations work together to deliver appropriate support for those affected by addiction.
Our carefully designed framework ensures that STAR communities operate with confidence and knowledge using our courses, resources and support.
Everyone that attended said the session was excellent and informative. All areas were well explained and easy to relate to issues we already come across on a daily basis.

Membership and STAR Approval
Are you a church or community organisation with a heart to reach out to people in addiction in your community? Don’t know where to start? Need some help and advice? We have all the resources and guidance you will need to support and impact your community.
We want to see churches and organisations equipped and growing in confidence, knowledge and collaboration. The STAR Approval model has been expertly designed to upskill, equip and train volunteer teams to become recovery-supportive communities, gaining a national recognised standard.

Body
Spirit
Mind
The STAR Life Course is a 6 or 12 session course, where guests are encouraged to join & go through a series of topics helping them to address their struggles with any addiction, destructive habit or compulsive behaviour.
Each of the six topics enable participants to explore different stages of their recovery path, to move toward a place of freedom.
The courses and programmes have a holistic approach, considering the Body, Spirit and Mind with sections focused on these three different areas.
