Hope House Information
In this section you will find information about Hope House Projects, aswell as a list of the trustees and committee members.
History
Hope House Projects was established in 1992.
The charity started in response to the prevalent need it was faced with when 30 children and young people suddenly stormed into one of our meeting. They said they had nothing to do and nowhere to go. We entertained them and they came back again and again. They enjoyed it so much and the work just continued from there and has grown to the point of reaching thousands of young people in kids club, youth club, after school club and schools (Primary and High) assembly settings since its inception.
The problem of today's generation can be easily solved if the adult population will meet the top 2 needs of every children and young person ie.
- somewhere to go and
- something to do there. It's that simple. It's been a pleasure meeting these need.
