Who We Are

Hope is a welcoming, inclusive and non-judgemental organisation.
We celebrate diversity within our community and we are at the heart of the community we serve.

‘Different species of trees produce different kinds of fruit.
We must not look for cherries on a plum tree. So it is with people’   

Nicolas Barre – founder of the Sisters of the Infant Jesus

Hope Community Project is a small charity based in Heath Town, Wolverhampton with over 30 years of local experience and knowledge.

We were founded in 1985 when the Catholic order, Sisters of the Infant Jesus, moved onto estate.  They started knocking on doors and discovered that people were living in fear in their own homes and frightened to come out. 

The Sister’s spent their time listening to the stories of the people, their lives, and to the issues they faced day-to-day.  They were joined over the years by many willing volunteers from all over the world. 

Thirty-seven  years on in 2022, we are still situated in the heart of Heath Town and continue to have those conversations with local people to find out about  the most current and pressing issues faced by the community. 

We still offer a truly independent source of support enabling us to reach people that some statutory services struggle to engage with or cannot find, helping us to continue to work towards building an integrated and cohesive community, reduce social isolation, raise aspirations, strengthen family relationships, and help people feel that they are valued members of society. 

Our Values

Inspirational
Hope is an inspirational, Christian inspired organisation which is passionate about the Heath Town area. We work in a positive, solution focused way with the community we serve; seeking to create opportunities for people to develop their full potential.
Actively responsive
Hope speaks to local people and actively responds to local need. We help to remove barriers, build resilience and work with people to improve their lives and the community.
Respectful
Hope works with respect for each other, local people and partner agencies. We are reliable, trustworthy and work in a non-judgemental way.
Nurturing
Hope is a caring organisation. We put people at the centre of all we do. We are here to listen with patience and aim to understand all those we work with and for.

How We Work

Our aim is to integrate and help build a successful multi-cultural community where the talents of each individual are recognised, valued and appreciated. 

At Hope Community our aims are to seek out, reach and support the most isolated, vulnerable and disadvantaged people in the community, particularly those on the margins who struggle with day to day living and to be accepted by society as a whole. 

Holistic
Hope works holistically, with faith, love and fellowship;
all central and reflective of our Christian ethos.

We achieve this by delivering the following:

To reduce social isolation and loneliness:

  • Telephone befriending
  • Community café
  • Women’s empowerment group
  • Stay and play 

To engage in positive activities and informal education: 

  • Time to talk (conversation group)
  • Parenting workshops 
  • Holiday activities for children and young people 

To develop learning and employability skills: 

  • Digital skills/ Internet Café 
  • ESOL delivered in partnership with Wolverhampton Adult Education. 
  • Volunteering programme 
  • Job club 

To relieve food poverty and financial difficulties:

  • Community café 
  • Food club and pantry 
  • Financial literacy workshops

We engage local people by reaching out to them in the community.
We are a visible part of the community and go to those who need support rather than waiting for them to find us.

We have adopted the following three principles in all that we do:  

  • Reach – engage everybody and anyone with respect and dignity ensuring inclusivity, diversity and equality. 
  • Listen– develop relationships, identify issues, interests, passions, potential leaders and volunteers
  • Connect – build bridges between different groups of people, celebrate diversity and culture 

Say hello! We like to talk.
