HELPING TO BREAK THE CYCLE OF HOMELESSNESS

Hope House Essex: Embracing Change to Better Serve Our Community

Hope House Essex is entering a new chapter to better meet the needs of the most vulnerable in our community. In light of fundraising challenges, rising operational costs, and the current cost of living crisis, we have made the decision to sell our two properties. This change will allow us to adapt and focus our efforts where they are needed most.

We are excited to continue our commitment to the ‘Wednesday Evening Community Meal,’ which offers support and a warm meal to homeless and vulnerable individuals. We recognize the growing need for advice and support within our community, and our hands-on experience has inspired us to expand our reach even further.

To meet this need, we have recently launched the Hope House Drop-In at Food and More in Braintree town centre. This new initiative will allow us to extend our presence in Braintree and enhance the support we provide to those in need.

Through both the community meal and our drop-in services, we remain dedicated to our mission of breaking the cycle of homelessness in and around Braintree. With your support, we will continue to create a stronger, more connected community for everyone.

Thank you for your ongoing support.
