Hope Community Foundation is driven by a clear set of values which inform our direction, decision making, approach and our culture.  Our Values are simple: We are:

People Centred

This means that we’re all about people not projects.  It’s people that matter to us.  Our projects may well meet a perceived need and deliver outputs, but behind every project is a clear drive to put people right at the heart of what we do.  We understand that people aren’t ‘fixed’ but their are ‘valued’ and out of that flows confidence and the ability to live a better life.  We see the whole person, the person with potential not just problems.

Future Focused

We are always asking what’s next for our community and our beneficiaries.  Our projects are not intended to keep people where they are but to move them forwards in life, to grow, progress in whatever capacity that means for them.   We go to great lengths to connect people into the most appropriate services for them so they can build a future for themselves.

Hope Driven

Hope for the future is something we want to cultivate in everything we do.  We see so much hopelessness around us and hope is often the one missing ingredient to life which makes all the difference.  We are committed to always seeing the glass half-full even when people struggle to see this for themselves.  We are committed to being a place of sanctuary where hope can be cultivated and restored.
