Do more, together, in word and action

HOPE Nottingham supports the local church to speak and live its mission, in unity, to see spiritual change in individuals and communities transformed.

Ministering to the homeless

With a drop-in centre and soup kitchen for the homeless, HOPE Nottingham, incoporating Hope NG9, is providing for the practical needs of the homeless.

Hope NG9 started in 2007 serving the postcode of its name, making it a priority to share God’s love in social action, celebrations and public witness. A lot has happened as a result of churches working together to serve over a period of three years.

HOPE Nottingham, consisting of many volunteers from different churches in the area, has taken the HOPE model and is developing it across the city. As a registered charity Hope will serve the needs of an even wider community.

The programme initially began with a prayer walk organised by local churches and individuals, and has expanded into several ministry branches.

A student gardening week that helped clean up some of the messy areas of the town made the Hope initiative known to many others. Nigel Adams, Director, explains that “since then, we haven’t looked back.”

With the help of volunteers, the project organised an Easter Passion play, a prayer tent, holiday day trips and a free “Hope in the Park” summer festival that brought countless visitors who got to enjoy live music, food and children’s events.

Hope Nottingham

Hope Nottingham recently launched a “Healing on the Streets” programme as well as the "Hope Cafe" Drop-in Centre for the homeless and vulnerable. In partnership with the United Reformed Church we have the use of excellent premises on Boundary Rd.

The local response to the project has been hugely positive.

"this is the right time to unite the churches in our city to reach out to the community.....there are many stories I could tell of how Hope has changed lives in NG9, not least my own.”

With the support of many churches and individuals, including Beeston's Mayor Pat Lally, HOPE Nottingham has great potential to minister to and impact people’s lives all over the city.
