Join us raising money for #HopeAtHome!
Thank you so much to Morrisons for their continued support, and the volunteers who helped us in July. Morrisons have also agreed for us to have a permanent display to collect physical donations in-store, which is absolutely fantastic - we`re really grateful for the support.
We were also able to further raise Hopestead`s profile through conversations with some wonderful people, and we were really thankful to received some generous donations including blankets, throws, bed sheets and kitchen essentials - see the third picture!
Later this month, we`ll be heading back to Morrisons at Norwich Riverside to raise more money and donations for Hope at Home; can you spare a few hours to volunteer with us? We`ll be there on:
- Tuesday, 29 August
- Wednesday, 30 August

Can you spare a few hours to help us raise money to end homelessness?
This summer, we will be holding fundraisers at the Norwich Riverside branch of Morrisons and are asking for volunteers to generously give their time to fill up our collection buckets with pennies and pounds for our Hope at Home fund. We’ll be there in July on:
- Tuesday, 25 July
- Wednesday, 26 July
- Thursday, 27 July
Many of our service users will move into their homes without access to basic amenities and items. Hope at Home provides furniture, flooring, and white goods to those who cannot afford such prohibitive costs.
You, our supporters, are invaluable in helping us to change the story of homelessness for hundreds of people, and that’s why we’re asking for your support.
The more we can raise, the more people we can help. So, if you can spare a few hours, please sign up to help us to help others. Here’s what your generosity could provide someone in need:
- £30 will provide a kettle and toaster for a warm drink and snack
- £60 can provide a microwave so someone can have hot meals
- £100 can provide a blow-up mattress, duvet and bedding until we can provide a bed
- £45 will provide a kitchen pack for essential items for a meal
- £60 can provide curtains so a person can feel comfortable and safe in their own home
Register your interest on our website via the link in our bio! Thank you in advance for all your support, and we hope to see you there!

Applications for #HopeFunds grants of up to £10,000 are closing soon on Friday, 30 June. If you’re a registered charity, social enterprise, or community group in Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, or Cambridgeshire with projects that help us deliver one or more of our priorities, then apply now!
Through Hope Funds, we’re supporting projects aimed at:
- Preventing homelessness (addressing causes, impacts, and homelessness itself)
- Increasing bed spaces for those experiencing homelessness
- Reducing or alleviating the impact of homelessness on children
By working together with likeminded organisations we can tackle homelessness and its causes, support those currently experiencing it with somewhere safe to sleep, and minimise its impact on children.
Homelessness charities and organisations are struggling to meet huge increases in demand with heightened energy, maintenance, and staff costs making their services unviable. Hope Funds is in place to support these services with projects that align with our values and core objectives; to offer support amidst a difficult economic backdrop.
Apply now, so that we can do this together. Visit our website (link in bio) to read our Grant Funding Guidance, and if your project meets the criteria and aligns with our core objectives, then please apply for Hope Funds before Friday, 30 June.
Take a look back through our previous posts to learn more about the three priorities of Hope Funds and to see how your projects align with these objectives. Together, we can build long-term, sustainable solutions to prevent homelessness and its causes for everybody.

Are you a registered charity, social enterprise, or community group in Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, or Cambridgeshire with a project aimed at alleviating the impact of homelessness on children?
#HopeFunds has grants of up to £10,000 available for projects supporting this and our other priorities. Apply before 30 June and read on to find out why this is so important 👇
Anyone can experience homelessness. And due to factors like the long-term impact of COVID (the full extent of which has not yet been seen) and the cost of living crisis, the number of people experiencing homelessness is rising.
A significant amount of that growing number is children. It’s estimated that a staggering 127,000 children are experiencing homelessness in England, as of December 2022. What’s more, the number of children experiencing homelessness in the east of England has grown by 81% since early 2020.
Access to a safe place to call home is a basic human right, and by working with other organisations that share our values we can make sure nobody has to experience homelessness.
Visit our website (link in bio) to read our Grant Funding Guidance, and if your project meets the criteria and aligns with our core objectives, then please apply for Hope Funds before Friday, 30 June.
Take a look back through our previous posts for more about the importance of our strategic objectives – Hope Funds is in place to support projects aimed at preventing homelessness and increasing bed spaces for those experiencing homelessness, alongside alleviating its impact on children.
