Service Description
These needs cannot be met by one agency alone. It is a joint partnership between health services, children’s services and education who work together to provide support to young people in the community and through day programme provision. At Hope there is a dedicated team of social workers, nurses, teachers, psychologists, art/drama therapists, psychiatrists, a systemic family worker and activity workers.
The Hope Service is based on three sites:
- Hope Service Epsom in West Park in Epsom
- Hope Service Guildford on Worplesdon Road in Guildford
- Extended Hope Service in Redhill
Contact details for each service are contained within the accordions below.
Visit the Hope Service website for more information.
