"We are dedicated to helping homeless men and women with drug and alcohol problems"
Who We Help, Why We Help & the Difference It Makes
WHAT WE DO
At Kairos Community Trust, we are dedicated to helping homeless men and women with drug and alcohol problems. We do this through our abstinence-support hostel, our rehab programmes and our network of 30 supported Move-on houses, most of which are in south London.
Our core services provide: sober hostel accommodation, day programme rehab, residential rehab, supported housing and aftercare. Each service can be accessed separately or they can be combined to build individual pathways to recovery over a period of time. All our services are delivered by experienced teams of qualified therapists, support workers and administrators.
Addiction and homelessness are twin problems, and we believe that the journey to recovery from drugs and alcohol begins in a safe, secure environment.

Volunteering
Alongside our staff, volunteers play an important role in the life and work of Kairos. Most are men and women who have gone through the Kairos rehab process themselves, are actively pursuing recovery through 12-Step fellowships, are one year or more abstinent and want to help Kairos.
Volunteers provide help with many vital jobs, such as night cover, accompanying residents to appointments, gardening, shopping, driving, cleaning, carpentry, office work and catering.

Funding & costs
Linden Grove Abstinence-Support Hostel: Housing benefit is applied for on admission with help of a support worker.
Bethwin Road Residential Rehab: This is community care funding agreed with social services prior to admission. Social services will assess a client to make a small weekly contribution towards his/her treatment from their benefits. Private self-funding clients are also welcome. The cost is £740 per week (from 6th April 2026).
Garden Day Programme: The cost is £470 per week (from 6th April 2026). Private self-funding clients are also welcome.
Aftercare Programme: Usually funded by social services but private self-funding clients are also welcome. The cost is £360 per week (from 6th April 2026).
Move-on Supported Housing: Rent paid for by housing benefit.
NB Social services will appoint a care manager who will negotiate and advise on all aspects of funding. If in doubt about eligibility for funding, check with the substance misuse team in your borough.
Abstinence
Kairos’s five-fold treatment services are founded on the 12-Step abstinence model of recovery enabling total abstinence from all alcohol and drugs apart from those prescribed by the doctor. Random drug and alcohol testing is in place.
However, Kairos recognises and accepts that addiction is a relapsable disease. Experience also shows that for some people it takes time and a number of interventions before they achieve manageable sobriety (abstinence).
Given the number of available Kairos services pathways, the Trust will now look at relapses on an individual basis and make every effort to accommodate the person at a level of service judged to be suitable and beneficial at that time. This will be done in co-operation and with the agreement of all relevant professionals involved, in particular, the client’s care manager. Finally, however, all decisions are at the Trust’s discretion and must take into account the safety of other service users and staff.
