Alpha House Calderdale

What Alpha House Calderdale does

Alpha House Calderdale is a registered charity (No. 1126961, Company No. 6653956) founded in 2012 and headquartered at 22 Clare Road, Halifax, West Yorkshire. It operates a three-stage residential rehabilitation and resettlement programme for up to 50 adult men with addiction, mental health issues, offending behaviour, and homelessness, typically referred through SWAP (Safe Welcome After Prison), Probation services, mental health providers, and approved self-referrals. The core service comprises Stage 1 (Acute Unit, Additional Needs Unit, and Support Unit delivering concentrated 24/7 structured support for up to 12 weeks), Stage 2 (18 self-contained recovery community apartments with on-call staff), and Stage 3 (independent community-based living with education and employment preparation), supported by accredited courses delivered in partnership with Skills and Education Group (QLS), therapeutic group sessions, individual Key Working, and counselling.

The organisation has developed a specialist Neurodiversity Support Programme addressing ADHD, PTSD, Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, and Acute Anxiety with ADHD coaching, a dedicated Chill Out Room, sensory classrooms, and one-to-one support. A weekly Creative Programme supplements formal therapy. Operations are led by CEO Yvonne Oliver (joined January 2012) with a small management team of approximately 11-50 staff and trustees, several of whom are former programme graduates bringing lived experience.

Revenue is generated entirely from charitable sources: individual and corporate donations, grants from major UK foundations (Garfield Weston Foundation, Henry Smith Charity, Lloyds Bank Foundation, National Lottery Community Fund, Calderdale Community Foundation), and public sector contracts with Calderdale Council, West Yorkshire Combined Authority, and NHS trusts. Services are provided free to eligible residents. The organisation holds multiple accreditations including The King's Award for Voluntary Service, Quality for Health, Investors in Excellence, and several 2025 regional industry awards.
