Last week, we shared the news that Watford Borough Council would be discussing New Hope purchasing 120-122 Exchange Road (most recently a Hindu temple and before that Age Concern was based there). The discussion took place on the evening of Wednesday 1 July and it was agreed to sell the building to New Hope!
New Hope has partnered with Run for Charity to open up an exciting range of fundraising opportunities for our supporters with guaranteed places in hard-to-get-into events such as the London Landmarks Half Marathon and the Royal Parks Half Marathon.
85 different people attended our first ever Homeless Health Day benefitting from the immediate boost of a haircut, a massage and new trainers to longer-term health support such as liver health, smoking cessation advice, and dental care.
You may have seen from the Watford Borough Council post that we are hoping to purchase 122 Exchange Rd. This will be discussed at the cabinet meeting on 1 July.
How is New Hope responding to this extreme heat and helping people who are experiencing homelessness?
The much-loved manager of the New Hope charity shop in Queens Road, Watford, Polly Odbert, has been recognised in the King’s Birthday Honours for her outstanding service to the community.
