We are very excited to share good news about our new project Link; Local; Together which is funded by The National Lottery Community Fund. Thanks to their award, we can continue to offer support services for Bromyard and the community. This project is recognition of the need for services in rural communities. Some of the funding has allowed us to expand our Support Services Team, which now includes a Centre SEND Coordinator, Mim Francis, and also to develop our work with young people with a dedicated Support Worker, Jo Buckley, as part of the team. Mim and Jo join Viv, Lara, Ruth as part of the Support Services team delivering food, advice, support and practical and emotional help.
The Link; Local; Together project has 3 years funding from The National Lottery Community Fund and Heidi Mulholland, Support Services Manager, said, “Since joining Hope in 2016, I have seen the need for local services grow in our community and the numbers of people using our service have increased every year. The value of having services based locally in rural areas for people is huge and to have this endorsed by The National Lottery Community Fund is amazing. We know these services are vital to the local community and The Hope Centre is glad to continue being a part of wider community support in Bromyard.”
