Launch of 30 for 30 Fundraising Challenge!

Throughout the summer of 2020 we are running a 30 for 30 initiative to celebrate 30 years of New Hope’s invaluable work preventing homelessness and transforming lives in Watford. We’re inviting individuals, families and community groups to undertake a fundraising challenge in aid of New Hope using the number 30 as a spring board for ideas.

With many summer plans off the cards, now’s the perfect time to undertake a personal challenge; by getting fit or committing to learning a new skill  whilst  raising  vitals funds for vulnerable individuals in Watford.

Share your challenge with us on Twitter @Newhopehq, Instagram @newhopehq and on Facebook @newhopehq. Set up a Virgin Money Giving page here - https://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/giving/fundraising/ and share your challenge with your family, friends, neighbours and colleagues!

All participants will receive a personalised 30 for 30 certificate of completion!
