Preventing
homelessness.
Transforming
lives.
OUR MISSION AND ETHOS
OUR MISSION
New Hope exists to serve people with current or recent experience of homelessness by providing accommodation and opportunities to rebuild damaged lives. Founded upon Christian values, which are at the core of our operation, we support people regardless of faith. We accommodate over 50 people every night and almost 500 people every year.
OUR ETHOS
New Hope exists to show our deep concern for people, in the Watford area, who are currently experiencing homelessness or have recent experience of homelessness.
In an atmosphere of unconditional love and compassion we seek to offer acceptance and respect to all. This includes practical support such as food, shelter, clothing, health care and training as well as building relationships, listening and caring. We believe this should be done professionally and monitored regularly.
While New Hope staff and volunteers come from a variety of faiths or have no faith, we share a common motivation of wanting to prevent homelessness and transform lives. We are united in our commitment and dedication to helping those who are currently experiencing homelessness in Watford. Those who are Christians believe God loves everyone. We seek to see all who come to us given a new hope and the opportunity to build a new life.
New Hope has signed up the Housing Justice’s Charter for Christian Homelessness Agencies which was create to encourage homelessness charities, such as New Hope, to integrate best practice with a confident expression of Christian ethos.
