We offer unique services that meet the local needs of disadvantaged communities and people living on the margins, by reaching out to those who feel they are on the outside. We're passionate about creating strong and caring communities who value personal wellbeing, and each other.
We connect with people, and families who are trying to overcome great personal trials, such as relationship breakdown, domestic violence, long-term unemployment, homelessness, and mental health or addiction issues. We also come around people who are caught in a cycle of poverty and debt, and often have diminished choices and opportunity to break out of this.
“Josephine (HopeStreet Manager) was a huge help in looking for somewhere for me to go to. It was a rush to get me into somewhere. It kind of stopped Dad from stressing,” said David.
“I’m an introvert, so it’s nice to have a meal at HopeStreet. I don’t have to worry about that one meal in my day.”
HopeStreet has become a safe and welcoming space, providing emotional support particularly when they had to give up their beloved pet cat. “That was the hardest thing out of all of this,” said David.
Graeme says they are working to get back under the same roof, it will just take time. “David is fully aware of his challenges; he just does the best he can… We’re welcome at HopeStreet. I come every week to have breakfast with my son and have a chat. They really help David. He’s comfortable here, he enjoys coming here.”
