What is Hope for Belper all about?

Hope for Belper originally grew out of the nationwide Hope 08 initiative launched in 2008. Its initial aim was to see “a million acts of kindness” taking place across the UK in that year. Hope for Belper aims to build on that work by organising projects that continue to demonstrate the love of God to our town. Built on prayer, it has seen Christians from across the town come together to ‘make the main thing the main thing’ – bringing the Christian message of hope to their neighbours and community.

How do I get involved?

This Weblog will bring you up-to-date details of all Hope for Belper activities and projects as they are planned and as they happen. If you, along with a group of neighbours or any small group to which you belong, want to Go For It! we have a number of suggestions for small activities or projects which you could bring to life. Alternatively, if you want to find out what others in your part of town think would be a good idea, we can email the ‘Neighbours Letter’ template for you to use. This town of ours is made up of the people who live in it and the things they bring to it – so get set to play your part in Hope for Belper.
