Living with osteoarthritis in both knees and waiting for surgery, Dee found daily life increasingly difficult. The Hope Programme helped her manage her pain, rebuild her confidence and feel more hopeful about the future.

While waiting for hip surgery and struggling with severe pain, Liese joined Hope looking for support. What she found was a group of people who understood what she was going through. The programme helped her feel less alone, prepare for surgery and keep going at work at a time when things felt too much.
