<p><strong>This donation is going towards the Hope4 building fund and every penny really does count so thankyou very much for your support!- more details below.</strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">Hope 4 (Rugby) Ltd are looking to move toward the purchase of a property to consolidate the ongoing work of the Charity. </span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">To achieve this goal we will need to raise at least £300,000. </span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">There are a number of reasons behind our decision. These include:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">1) Securing a permanent base for Hope 4's ministry in Rugby over at least the next decade. Basically for what we could spend on rent over the next ten years we can purchase a property that will consolidate our presence in Rugby for the forseeable future. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">2) A Foodbank in Rugby. Hope 4 are also planning- in partnership with the REVIVE network of churches - to expand the Hope 4U services we already provide to incorporate a Trussell Trust foodbank distribution point. This will help families in crisis in our town. </span></p>

These are also a factor in this decision. The proposed new housing benefit cuts alone will - according to independent observers - be adding significantly to the numbers of homeless and badly housed people among us in the next few years. It is all the more vital therefore that those of us who support Hope 4 plan carefully both to protect and consolidate the services we can provide.</span></p>
