Kintsugi Hope is a charity based in the UK striving to make a difference to peoples mental wellbeing. 'Kintsugi' (金継ぎ) is a Japanese technique for repairing pottery with seams of gold. This repairs the brokenness in a way that makes the object more beautiful, and even more unique than it was prior to being broken. Instead of hiding the scars it makes a feature of them.
We want to see a world where mental and emotional health is understood and accepted, with safe and supportive communities for everyone to grow and flourish. We run Kintsugi Hope courses here in Garstang. Contact us if you're interested in joining our next course.

Poverty destroys lives. It breaks families apart, isolates people from friends and family, shatters confidence and drives many to despair.
No one should wake up wondering where they’ll find the money to feed their children or heat their home. No one should have to be alone, especially when times are tough.
CAP is on a mission to release thousands of families from grinding poverty through award winning debt counselling and community groups.
