Building a Mentoring Programme for HOPE Mothers Lived Experience Team 

We are fundraising to develop and run our first Giving HOPE Mentoring Programme, helping our HOPE Mothers lived experience group further develop their skills and confidence so they can buddy and support other women who want to join us.

After three years at the heart of Giving HOPE, our HOPE Mothers have achieved so much. Building on their experiences and ambition to change the system for others, we are now delivering HOPE Boxes and training to over 65 Health and Children’s Social Care partnerships across England and Wales, but we want to do more.

With your help, we will co-design a trauma-informed mentoring programme that supports the HOPE Mothers’ growth so they can support other women to become HOPE Mothers.

In the words of Angela Frazer-Wicks, Director and HOPE Mother:

"This mentoring programme will create opportunities for our HOPE Mothers to grow within Giving HOPE, further developing their skills, confidence and capacity in a way that is safe, supported and led by their needs. It is not simply about providing a little bit of support. It is about developing a tailor-made, trauma-informed, individual programme for every single one of us. It is about helping us to achieve our full potential and to help other women join us … we are trauma survivors, we are pioneers, and we are asking for your help."

Listen to Angela's full reflection here.

We are already halfway to our £12,500 target but we need your support to do this work properly.

Please give what you can.
