Children/youth: Although our numberswere small, we ¢ontlnued to have a v¥ide age range of children and youih from those who were at primary right up to school leaving ag6, so it has b66n difficult to find a rang¢ of tea¢hlng and activities that fit hvith all. However we were able to do this through bible based teaching? but mainly centred this around lots of games and a¢tlvltlfrs: where those Invdved had lots to do ra- ther than sit and listen. We also had lots of snacks. The snacks were specifically asked for by some tsf the old- or one We crmtinued with youth type activltles on a Sunday mornlng such as tab16 t¢w f¢xtball or alr hkoY as a way to get rid of energy before doing the games and a¢tSvities centred on biblical teachlng.

Covid 19
During the years 2020 and 2021 much of the work of Hope House and the associated Open House ministry was severly disrupted by the onset of the pandemic and two lock downs. The café was closed and the kitchen was deployed to feed housebound people. The community bus was used to deliver meals to people's homes.
Hope House is immensely grateful for the support provided by Local Government and individuals to fund this outreach work.
