Since launching the Hope Centre in November of 2019, we have had the privilege of journeying with hundreds of individuals as a church, demonstrating the biblical compassion that Jesus modelled to us, meeting some of the needs of those who have found themselves in financial difficulty.
In July 2021, we launched our second phase of the Hope Centre, opening the social supermarket and launching our Pure Tasty cookery course, aimed at building firm foundational life skills. Our heart being that those using the food bank would begin to progress to a place of independence, free from financial instability and unsurety.
During this time we also launched our Pregnancy Support Centre in partnership with LifeNI. We are able to practically help those who are faced with a pregnancy crisis at any stage in that journey, as well as offering trained counselling and trained listening through LifeNI.
In January of 2022 we relaunched our C.A.P money management courses, as a helpful tool in building sustainable budgets and money management.
As the Hope Centre has continued to grow, we are excited to have completed a renovation project transforming a previously unused space into four multipurpose conference style rooms, complete with multimedia facilities which will allow us to continue to grow the programmes available at the Hope Centre. In these rooms, our hope is to offer accredited retraining and job clubs, provide free accessible counselling services, expand our C.A.P Money courses, and offer these rooms for use by other local charities aimed at reaching those in need.
We have a number of different practical ways to partner with the work of the Hope Centre
Option 1 - Room Rental
With the launch of our multi-purpose rooms at the Hope Centre, we are now able to offer these rooms to local businesses and organisations for the purposes of meetings and events.
Room Rental benefits from in house audio visual equipment, close transportation links by train or bus, light refreshments upon request, and beautiful views of the city overlooking the River Foyle.
