**HANDS OF HOPE** 

## **CHAIRMAN'S REPORT** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 1 AUGUST 2022** 

Set up in 2016 by the current Trustees, we are restoring & developing a neglected walled kitchen garden and 22 acres of AONB land in Hawkhurst, located on the Kent and East Sussex Border - "Hope Farm Community Garden" - whilst conserving the sites natural heritage. Since securing planning in January 2019, we have been delivering programmes aimed at tackling food poverty, rural isolation and loneliness as well as improving mental, physical & environmental health for communities throughout Rother, Hastings, & West Kent. We have a no-dig, productive, organic, market garden, with Soil Association Accreditation & extended our growing capacity in 2021 to support our new in-season Box Scheme, Hope Farm Organics. 

I am pleased to disclose that although the last year remained challenging for many charities, Hands of Hope continued to thrive seeing an increase in visitor numbers, volunteering hours and session delivery, extending our partnerships, increasing our impact on people's lives whilst continuing to preserve and develop Hope Farm Community Garden. 

In the last twelve months we have focused on improving the delivery of our core services as well as widening the diversity of our beneficiaries. Additionally, we have improved facilities on site and now have access to 3 new classrooms via the restoration of the derelict pump house which includes a disabled toilet and a new inclusive growing area specifically designed for visitors with mobility issues. Additionally, we have purchased a new mobile kitchen which supports delivery of "Field to Fork" activities as well as in-season cookery and nutrition classes. 

In June 2022 we received The Queen's Award for Voluntary Service and in August 2022 we secured funding to deliver a new, 2-year project "The Living History Programmer" supported by National Lottery Heritage Fund as well as improving our capacity building & long-term sustainability with 3-years support from National Lottery Community Fund. With this support we are now able to recruit a new General Manager to lead the charity through the next stage of our development. 

I would like to thank the Trusts and Foundations and all our other donors including local schools and community groups, who supported us. We are extremely grateful for all the financial support we receive, which allows us to continue to have a positive impact on our communities. I would also like to thank our staff and all our volunteers & supporters whose efforts and enthusiasm allow us to continue making a difference. I would especially like to thank my fellow founding Trustees who work tirelessly to ensure our services reach those who need it the most and without whom, many our projects would not happen. 

The next twelve months will be our busiest in regard to delivery and outcomes and I very much look forward to sharing the results with you.

The number of potential growers reached (e.g., how many growers per household/group) was over circa 13,000, up from 800.
