Welcome to
Kintsugi Hope Groups.

Thank you so much for your interest in our Kintsugi Hope Wellbeing Groups! We are so excited that you are considering joining the movement to create safe and supportive spaces in our churches and communities for people to grow and flourish!!

Currently, Kintsugi Hope Wellbeing Groups are only authorised to be run through Churches and Charities. The reason for this is to ensure great safeguarding is in place and the group is well supported.
