Hands of Hope is a small, community charity set up in 2016 by the current Trustees and run by them. Currently restoring & developing a neglected walled kitchen garden and 18 acres of AONB in Kent, we deliver programmes & activities aimed at tackling rural isolation and food poverty as well as improving the physical and mental wellbeing of communities throughout Rother, Hastings & West Kent, by connecting them with nature and each other – “growing together, building communities.”
Promoting life-improving programmes as well as sustainable economic and social development of the site’s communities with specific focus on marginalised groups throughout Rother, Hastings and West Kent we offer opportunities to increase the skills base amongst volunteers, service users, schools & community groups by providing access to and knowledge of, ‘in season’ food growing, community rural craft skills and environmental issues.
