Donate to New Hope and make a difference
Supporting New Hope is a chance to make a real, lasting difference to people experiencing homelessness.
By donating your time, money, groceries or brand new and preloved goods, you can help provide those in the utmost need the opportunity to rebuild their lives with dignity. Even a small contribution can have a lasting impact, helping someone move towards stability, independence, and a brighter future.
Giving your time can also bring a strong sense of purpose and community, while donating items or money ensures valuable resources reach those who need them most. Together, we can challenge homelessness, restore hope, and help create a fairer, more compassionate society for everyone.

Friends of New Hope are people who give regular financial gifts. This can be done online or through your bank. Giving regularly to a charity like New Hope is a great way of responding compassionately to the need.
Your regular donations will provide dignity, respect, and a fresh start to men and women who are currently experiencing homelessness in Watford.
Friends of New Hope are incredibly important and we value your interest, enthusiasm and generosity. We love keeping you updated with stories and statistics about the impact of our work.

LEAVE A GIFT IN YOUR WILL
Your will is a powerful tool. It’s a way for you to change the future for the people you care about, and help New Hope prevent homelessness and transform lives. When you remember New Hope in your will, you help us to plan ahead, to be more effective and more efficient.
We do ask that you ensure that any family and loved ones are provided for and then considering leaving a gift to help some of the most vulnerable in our community. You don’t have to be wealthy, every gift to New Hope, large or small, will bring hope to people who are experiencing homelessness.
We recommend that you talk to a solicitor to ensure that your will is legally correct and that your wishes are clear. We are able to recommend local solicitors should you require this help.

GIVING IN MEMORY

You can create a special, personalised tribute page for your loved one, where you can share memories, photos, stories, music and videos to celebrate their life, as well as donate to our work in their honour. -
