We are proud of the children at Hope who have painted and made poppies for the pageant on Saturday 15th September …. “Everyone remembered”

Thanks also to Jan Brodie-Murphy and the team for doing such a sterling job and representing the community so well. Such a fantastic effort and great results!

Here is the latest Early Years newsletter containing information and updates on parties, term dates and other interesting things….

On November 29th we will be holding our Christmas Fayre.  We are delighted that the Mayor and Mayoress of Bromyard will be with us this year to open the event and hope that lots of friends and families will be there too.  Refreshments will be provided by Oscar’s café and maybe even some mulled wine to get us in the festive mood! It’s a lovely opportunity to get in some gifts for Christmas or treat yourself or a friend or relative and we look forward to welcoming you all…. and in the meantime check out our What’s on calendar at the centre for Halloween activities and spooky fun!

All proceeds go to our charity and if you would like to support us in other ways you might be interested in becoming a Friend of Hope; please click here for more information.

We are delighted to announce that we have been successful in the tender process to provide a commissioned service on behalf of Cafcass offering Contact Centre Interventions.  The Children and Family Court Advisory and Support Service (CAFCASS) is a non-departmental public body in England set up to promote the welfare of children and families involved in family court. It was formed in April 2001 under the provisions of the Criminal Justice and Court Services Act 2000 and is accountable to Parliament through the Ministry of Justice. Cafcass is independent of the courts, social services, education, health authorities and all similar agencies.

On Monday 18th June we held a Bingo night at Bishops Frome Village Hall.  We would like to thank everyone who was there and a big thanks to Wendy Roberts and the team that work with her who were amazing.  We all had a great evening and enjoyed ourselves immensely.  It was great to meet local residents and have an opportunity to tell people about what we do at the Centre.

We had amazing prizes and are really grateful to all those who donated them, including Bromyard Tyres; Hair by Rebecca; Myrtle’s Kitchen; Tyrrell’s Crisps and lots of others – too numerous to mention! – who gave so kindly.  There was a really wide range of prizes from sports massage to bottles of fizz to toys for children and much more.

We raised over £400 on the night which will go to our project of the redesign of the outdoors play areas for children and families. Thanks to all those who played Bingo and also to the cake auction with the cakes baked by Hope staff.  A really great night!
