CURRENT LOCKDOWN UPDATE ON SERVICES

January 5^th 2021

We are all aware at Hope of the difficulties many of you will be facing during the current lockdown.  We will continue to offer all our services during the current lockdown, although we have had to make some adjustments in order to remain compliant with current lockdown guidance.  This means that most of our staff team are working remotely and most of the services will continue to be offered but either virtually or by phone.

Below is some information, which we hope you will find useful. One of the things we are here to do is help offer advice and guidance on lots of different matters, so please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us if you need help.

For all general enquiries during this period, and until further notice, our main reception and phone line are not staffed.  Please call or text us on 07395 959240 instead or email info@hopefamilycentre.org.  Someone will get back to you as quickly as possible. Our office hours are 9am-5pm. All visitors must make a prior appointment before turning up at the Centre.

Our Children’s Centre, Contact Centre, Early Years services and Hub food deliveries are fully operational. Here are the numbers to call or text if you need to get in touch:

We have been advised by PWP that Parenting classes are being offered virtually now and so Tuesday classes are not running at the Centre until further notice.

On behalf of us all, we hope to be back together as soon as it is safe to do so and hope you all remain safe and well in the meantime.

As Christmas approaches and the year ends, on behalf of everyone at Hope I would like to send best wishes at Christmas to those we work with, to those who have supported us during this difficult year and to those we have supported.  I’d also like to say a big thank you to all our professional colleagues and stakeholders but especially to the people in Bromyard who have looked after one another and done their very best to make things better for everyone.

With our very best wishes for a better 2021 and we look forward to seeing you all in 2021.

This year has been very trying for everyone and the Burley Gate Village Carol Singers have been very creative in how they could bring some much needed Christmas cheer and raise money for local charities.

The result – to turn a large open barn into a magical Christmas setting for their carol singing. By filming the event they have been able to bring the Spirit of Christmas into your home.

We are very grateful to be one of the charities along with The Conquest Theatre Trust Ltd.

Please follow the link below to view this specially made video and give generously to those in need and so there will be a theatre for the future.

Just Giving

*Throughout the filming Government Covid 19 Regulations were carefully followed.

The team and I would like to thank the community, our funders, volunteers and partners for their  support in 2020. We hope everyone remains safe and well over Christmas and look forward to seeing you all in 2021.

All services will run as normal until Christmas Eve and we will reopen on Monday 4th January, 2021.
