Renewed Hope Trust

Renewed Hope provides practical solutions and emotional support to the homeless and vulnerable of East Surrey. In our Drop-In centre, we provide hot meals, a shower, clothing and endless cups of tea. Our support worker focuses on each individual's needs and connects them with relevant services, such as homelessness officers, outreach teams, domestic violence workers, substance abuse teams and employment and training services. Volunteers and staff work hard to create a safe and welcoming environment for all guests. In February 2022, we opened our first accommodation project (Hope House): a four-bedroom house through which we offer temporary supported housing to people who have been sleeping rough and help them develop the skills and confidence to return to independent living. Prior to Covid, we ran a rotating winter night shelter using local church halls, but the pandemic brought this to an end. Our response was to secure funding for Hope House, and the Project Coordinator is currently leading discussions with the local council regarding the need for further provision for rough sleepers.
