Seeds of Hope is our new fundraising campaign.

Will you help us to change lives in England's poorest communities?



The current recession is widely being reported as being the worst since the beginning of the last century. People who are already poor or on the margins of society are being badly affected, in particular by rising costs and unemployment, and their situation is likely to worsen.

That's why we have launched Seeds of Hope - our response to the recession. We believe that, with your help, we can make a difference and bring hope to people who are struggling financially and emotionally with the effects of the recession.

Over the next two years, we aim to raise sufficient funds to double the number of projects that we currently support, therefore helping double the number of people.
