We are raising money initially to go towards outdoor seating which will sit in front of the School House Cafe, a project that was started by Fresh Hope. We would love to see this space brighten up St Paul's and encourage the community to enjoy their immediate surroundings. It also gives a space to those who may not have gardens, as well as a safe place to socialise and meet with friends!

"Fresh Hope is an umbrella charity, that facilitates, coordinates and supports projects across communities, to see those communities united and transformed, radiating hope and compassion."

We're joyfully raising money for the Cheltenham-based charity Fresh Hope! We've seen this charity in actions through projects like the School House Cafe and Jigsaw, as well as many in the pipeline like the Armoury and Listening service. For any new charity it is a challenge in the first few years financially, so we want to help!

The charity believe in seeing communities transformed through social action. Whether this look like work experience for those who struggle to find work, a hello over a morning coffee or facilitating accessible and affordable groups for all, it is beneficial to all ages in cheltenham.

WE NEED YOUR HELP!

Just pop Maddie a message: Maddie.hall@freshhope.co to see how to get involved.
