HOPE Community Net is the name for our support network that helps people in many difficult circumstances – because we don’t want anyone to slip through the net.

You can make a difference by giving just less than £1 a week – that works out at £4.32 a month – by direct debit. Giving in this way makes it easier for us to plan ahead; and also to give to those in need at their time of need, rather than having to launch an individual appeal each time.

As we give people a hand up, we encourage them to become more self-sufficient in many ways. This may be through self-help, mentoring, volunteering and helping them navigate a pathway towards working. We are working on a project that we believe will enable us to employ people directly through our social enterprise, encouraging them – in turn – to become HopeGivers.
