SIR RANULPH FIENNES BT, MBE
A message from our Patron:
"When I take on a new challenge, I always want to make a difference to under privileged individuals. HOPE share the same motivation by supporting the homeless and under privileged within the local community, by strengthening the capacity of local people to make a decision about the place they live and work. HOPE aims to build on their past success, and with my support, I am sure they will go from strength to strength. I will endorse the work of this excellent charity and would encourage everybody within the local community to do so also."

ALL CHANGE!!
Over the last few months, HOPE has been evaluating its services and we have come up with several proposals to develop and ensure we are still standing at the end of this financial crisis.
1) We are amalgamating the day service and emergency accommodation from April 2012.
2) We are streamlining the social enterprise.
3) We will be developing projects that pay for themselves.
4) We will be having an overhaul of all other services to ensure efficiecy and cost effectiveness - in order to compete we have to be value for money.
The changes experienced across all of our projects are unnerving to some, understandably, however if HOPE is to survive to fulfil its mission, then we have to live in the real world.
Stick with it, it will come right in the end.
