Helping Hands Essex seeks to help people with drink problems who want to overcome them. It aims to give support and prompt help, and hope for the future. It does not operate commercially as a business, taking clients at a price from distant places. It operates as a local service. It is committed to help clients especially in unison with their doctors, and work with any plans their doctors may have for them.

We provide a safer environment for the local community, offering a listening ear and support from experienced volunteers. We aim to improve the mental and physical health of clients to help them recover their lives.

Clients come out stronger and with hope. They will be taught to seek occupations that lighten their depression, and provide renewed contact with their families. A structured life will make them more fit for employment. The public will feel safer.
