HANDSOF HOPE STATEMENT FROM THE CHAIR FOR THE PERIOD 2 AUGUST 2022 TO 31 JULY 2023

Set up in 2016 by the current Trustees and still run by them, Hands of Hope enables people and communities to lead happier and healthier lives by connecting them to nature and each other from our beautiful AONB site, Hope Farm Community Garden, nestled on the Kent and Sussex border.

Supporting communities throughout Rother, Hastings, and West Kent, we have regenerated a forgotten and neglected Edwardian walled garden into a thriving community asset with support from Trusts and Foundations, regional and national companies, as well as our own chargeable activities, all underpinned by crucial volunteer & community support.

During 2020-2021, at the height ofthe pandemic, we created a new access road as well as introducing utilities to Hope Farm Community including power, water, and internet.

During 2021-2022, we restored 50 metres ofthe derelict Edwardian wall using salvaged and donated bricks, running volunteer sessions. We created a new paved, raised bed area to widen & diversify access and restored a historic Pumphouse, creating three new teaching/delivery areas as well as a new disabled toilet.

In 2022-2023 we installed a 20m donated glass house and began building works on a new Community Kitchen & Cookery School, 20m Glass House and Social & Skills, Learning Centre.

The new buildings are crucial in enabling us to meet the ever-increasing demand for our provision helping us increase our impact on local challenges, by supporting a new affordable and accessible, "Natural Health Service", providing nature-based activities to address rural isolation and loneliness, food insecurity and unhealthy diets, tackling obesity, improving mental health, and offering opportunities for horticulture and heritage skills and employability.

We have widely consulted - in January 2019 and again in July 2021 - and received input from a diverse group of respondents on how we should develop Hope Farm Community Garden, what activities we should undertake and what objectives the charity should focus on aligned to community need. From November 23 through to January 24, we will undertake our 3rd consultation, gathering evidence to support a new suite of activities under the GCSE model: Growing, Cooking, Social & Skills, and Environment. Delivered from 3 new fully accessible, multi-functional buildings, & safety nestled within the confines of the Edwardian walled garden, we aim to provide a richer, more diverse learning and healing environment for everyone in our community and thereby, cementing our delivery plans for the next 5 years.

In addition to continuing our capital works, during the last twelve months we have focused on improving the delivery of our provision, extending our partnerships, as well as widening the diversity of our beneficiaries.
