Our Mission
At Active in Hope Community Foundation, we believe in the power of community and the strength that comes from supporting one another. Operating in the vibrant and diverse community of Waltham Cross, we strive to connect with local people and build strong relationships based on trust, care, and compassion. Our main goal is to provide support and referral services to those in need within our community.
Understanding that mental health is vital for overall well-being, we ensure that anyone who needs help can access necessary resources right here in our neighborhood. As we connect with our community and understand its unique needs, we plan to introduce diverse programs and workshops that cater to various aspects of mental health and personal development.
These will include counseling services and skill-building workshops, aimed at empowering individuals to lead happier, healthier lives. To support our mission, we will organise exciting fundraising activities. These events will provide financial support for our programs and serve as opportunities for locals to come together and contribute to a cause that impacts their friends and neighbors.
Join Us
We invite the wonderful people of Waltham Cross to join us on this journey of hope and growth. Together, we will create a community that thrives on support, understanding, and resilience.
