🎉 FIVE YEARS SINCE OUR OFFICIAL LAUNCH🎉
The Hope Foundation was registered as a charity on the 15th of April 2020, however we didn't officially launch until the 10th October 2021.
Five years ago today, we launched The Hope Foundation with a simple vision: to bring hope, support and lasting change to the lives of people across Liverpool.
Five years later, we're incredibly proud of what we've achieved together.
Over the past five years, we've:
🏠 Prevented around 150 people from facing street homelessness, helping individuals and families find safety and stability when they needed it most.
🔑 Directly housed 62 individuals through our supported accommodation, refugee resettlement projects and residential homes, providing safe, secure and affordable places to call home.
🤝 Supported over 500 people with individual cases, helping them navigate housing difficulties, financial hardship, benefits, employment and some of life's most challenging circumstances.
🎄 Fed thousands of people through our Christmas Day meals, bringing people together to celebrate Christmas with food, friendship and community.
🥪 Supported hundreds of children and families through our summer and half-term holiday food programmes, ensuring that families facing hardship have somewhere to turn.
💙 Delivered over 200 men's social groups, creating welcoming spaces where friendships can grow, isolation can be challenged and people can find a sense of belonging.
💻 Provided digital inclusion sessions, helping people build confidence, develop essential skills and access opportunities.
👨👩👧 Brought families together through parent and toddler groups, building relationships and strengthening our local community.
🍳 Delivered cooking classes, community activities and practical workshops, helping people learn new skills, build confidence and connect with others.
🎨 Created opportunities through art, creativity and community projects, giving people space to express themselves, discover new interests and build friendships.
❤️ Supported people through food and energy crises, providing practical assistance and a helping hand during incredibly difficult times.
And these are just some of the things we've done!
We've celebrated achievements, received awards, built incredible partnerships and had the privilege of working alongside some truly remarkable people.
But the greatest achievement isn't found in the numbers. It's found in the lives changed, the homes secured, the friendships formed, the confidence restored and the hope rediscovered.
Over these five years, we've positively impacted the lives of thousands of people across Liverpool.
None of this would have been possible without our incredible volunteers, staff, trustees, supporters, funders and community partners. To every person who has given their time, donated, encouraged us or believed in what we're doing — thank you.
Five years ago, we launched with a vision. Today, we're seeing that vision become a reality.
And the most exciting part? We're only just getting started.
Here's to the next five years of bringing hope, transforming lives and strengthening communities across Liverpool. 💙
