Hope & compassion
Hope & Compassion is a charity that works with other organisations abroad to improve the lives of children with Special Educational Needs and their families living in poverty in developing countries. At the heart of Hope and Compassion is a team of experienced professionals from the UK, qualified in education and specialist therapies.
The countries abroad where we are working have very few practitioners with equivalent qualifications, so we are sharing our skills and best practice to train project staff abroad. We work with local charities to train and educate their members of staff, giving a lasting legacy of high quality skills and experience abroad.
Our sole purpose if to re-ignite the flame of Hope and Giving. We aim to bring hope and kindness to people in need, through selfless service, compassion and respect for those whose circumstances are such that they have difficulty coping with the simple things in life. Coming together collectively, we are determined to make a difference to the lives of those who are socially disadvantaged, in pain, disabled, or have special educational needs. Through compassion we aim to touch them deeply and bring hope into their lives.
Get Involved
Our Mission is simple ‘To Touch and change Lives’ and there are many ways in which you can get involved, we are also open to suggestions and fresh ideas that fit into our ethos and mission. Above anything else we encourage active participation it is not about numbers, growth or money every little effort helps to make a difference in the lives we wish to serve and change. Our aim is to organise two main trips to India in the months of February/march and September/October , this fits well in terms of acclimatising and allowing us to meet our given objectives of the trips. The duration of the trip is individual choice from 14 days to 3 months. Our exchange programmes coincide with term times that have additional arrangements.
Donations
In the modern world we have busy lives and many responsibilities, one of our main purposes is to include people from all walks of life to be part of the experience, part of the smiles of the children we help, be part of something AMAZING. So when you wish you give a cheque or transfer funds into the account, look at ways of being part of the process. We are encouraging and advocating the younger generation to go out and look at practical ways of fundraising, this would bring communities, groups and people together for a worthwhile cause. Schools and children can also be part of journey to put a smile on a child's face on the other side of the world. It’s not the amount you give but HOW you raise the funds. This is why we do not stipulate recommended amounts.
