We did it!

You are amazing! in one week we smashed our target and raised £10,710 to support our medical centre and our after school clubs

As a result of the pandemic we need to extend our opening hours of our medical centre and subsidise the increased amount of patients. This boost of £5,355 will enable our medical centre to meet this increase in demand and give access to healthcare to those most in need.

Our afterschool clubs are shifting to bring educational support to those children who have huge gaps in their education due to the disruption to their schooling since March. Many children are in need of specialist learning support which Hope Gardens can now provide thanks to your generosity.

2.6 Challenge - well done Godwin!

On 26th April, the day the London Marathon was due to run, we asked our supporters to take on a 2.6 challenge of their own.

Godwin who lives in the Gardens with his family joined in this too! He cycled 26 times around the beautiful grounds of Hope Gardens on his sister’s bike! We are so proud of him and thrilled that he inspired so many others to do a challenge too. What an amazing little boy Godwin is. He did 26 laps in 30 minutes!

Watch Godwin’s challenge here!

To support Godwin many of you took to the challenge as well. A huge shout out to so many grown ups and children and dogs who did their 2.6 challenges too and donated! In a day we raised £661 which is fantastic! Thank you Amelia, Alice, Nate, Charlotte, Xander, Edmund, David, Albie, The Flemmings, Karen and Toby the dog for your fundraising!

It's 2.6 challenge day

Go Godwin!

Godwin is being a superstar and inspiring us all by cycling 26 times around Hope Gardens. He is only 7! Please join him today and think of a challenge with 2.6 or 26 in it and help us fundraise for the families most in need. For more information and to donate click here

Covid-19 update from Archbishop Samuel

Thank you for your concern over the communities that we are serving in Southern India. The Coronovirus continues to spread throughout the regions of India and is prevalent in both Kerala and Tamil Nadu, the two states that we as a charity work in.

Since the outbreak, our faithful Indian Partners have been doing what they do best  - supporting those who are in need, but as the situation escalates Archbishop Samuel has been in touch with an update on the situation.

"Our Central and State Governments have instructed all the educational institutions, hostels, malls etc to shut down until  in order to control the spreading of Corona Virus. Due to these measures all students and staff in our trusts will now be on holiday. As a charity we have advised all who work with us and all who we serve to take practical preventative measure to ensure they safeguard themselves from this virus.   On top of it we have been praying to our Almighty God to eradicate this killing virus."

We will continue to update you on the situation. We appreciate your prayers for the vulnerable families and children that we serve who are now without medical, educational, financial or emotional support.

An equal world is an enabled world

This year’s International Women’s Day slogan is “An equal world is an enabled world” and we wholeheartedly support this message.

Hope Gardens is all about providing opportunities to enable and enhance the lives of others. Regardless of gender we promote those who have compassion and drive to deliver change in our communities.

On International Women’s Day we celebrate Ruby’s achievements. A truly remarkable women who, through a year of personal challenges, has retrained from being a school teacher to becoming a leader in her community and will be ordained as a Deaconess on Sunday 8th March.

Sadly not all communities that we serve in are respectful and supportive of all individuals and today we pray for courage and strength for those who face opposition or discrimination due to their gender or faith.
