The Hope Foundation

We’re starting a friendly new group at The Hope Foundation where people can relax, have a brew and enjoy some classic board games together.

If you’ve got any complete board games at home that aren’t being used, we’d love to give them a new home. Think Scrabble, Monopoly, Cluedo or Uno, anything that brings people together.

You can drop them off at Hope House, 1 Grange Road, Middlesbrough

Help us spread the word and help us get this group going! 💛

Come and see us at Our Place, Our Say!

We’ll be at Middlesbrough Town Hall on Tuesday 18th November, 10am to 4pm, joining lots of brilliant local groups for a packed day of activities, stalls and workshops, all hosted by Skills for People.

Our Centre for Warmth volunteers will be there offering friendly help and advice, and you can chat to us about volunteering opportunities with The Hope Foundation and how you can get involved in your community.
It’s completely free to attend, with plenty going on throughout the day, from creative crafts and gentle exercise sessions to performances and information stalls.

Happening at Middlesbrough Town Hall, Albert Road, Middlesbrough TS1 2QJ
Drop in any time between 10 and 4, we’d love to see you there!

Stephen called in to The Hope Foundation last week for some IT support to print off tickets he’d bought online.

He told us how helpful the team had been:
“Kerry nailed it, she helped me when I would have been floundering.”

Stephen said he loves coming in because “the place is vibrant and full of activity. There’s always people doing courses, working on the computers and in the café.”

One of our amazing volunteers, Peter, has also helped Stephen several times with tech questions. If you’d like a bit of help too, why not drop in between 10am and 12 noon on Thursdays when Peter or one of our other Tea and Tech volunteers will be here to offer friendly 1 to 1 support.

Stephen picked up one of our Activities leaflets and plans to come back again soon. We can’t wait to see him. 💛

On this Remembrance Day, we remember the bravery, sacrifice and love that built the foundations of our community.
Together we keep their memory alive through kindness, connection and hope. 💛
