Achievements and performance
Summary of the main
achievements of the charity
during the year
Hope community village continues to care for all of our children in a
commendable and resilient manner.
For most of this reporting period, the 80+ children in the village and in our
Youth House were able to continue their educational journeys and the
vast majority achieved remarkable results, most of them moving into
either trainee positions, College or University. Those that were working
paid regular visits to Hope. The staff maintain regular contact with all of
our children. including those that are married and those receiving our
outreach support to ascertain their wellbeing and safety.
The Kindergarten provision is now being wound down as there are a
number of Govemment facilities close by and there is no perceived need
for this provision. HOPE staff and visiting providers do a lot of cultural
and sporting activities with the young people as well as all children
attending suitable schools for their particular needs. All young people are
individually placed into school, training and further education according to
their individual needs, abilities and aspirations.
The garden at HOPE provided much needed fruit and vegetables and
HOPE worked well with the local government initiatives with regard to
planting crops.
Our retired mothers, who live in our Mother's home, are able to provide
support and supervision for the staff and children, stepping in to support
whenever needed.
HOPE continues to thrive and is a centre of excellence for Group Foster
Care and is used by many local social work colleges for student
placements and visits.
