Award from High Sheriff of Hertfordshire

On Tuesday 26th March, Rob Edmonds, New Hope’s Deputy CEO, and staff from the Haven represented New Hope at the 29th Hertfordshire High Sheriff Awards.

To our surprise, New Hope won an award with a

prize of £1,000 in the category of Homelessness:

New Hope in Watford has won a High Sheriff Award for their outstanding work in helping people escape homelessness and achieve stable housing. From street outreach to mental health support, their dedication helps people to thrive.

The following observations were also made:
 

"Staff and volunteers are caring and considerate of people and their challenges...
New Hope sees each person not as a sum of their past challenges but as an individual with a future away from homelessness."

 
This award is recognition of the contribution of everyone involved in New Hope as we work together to prevent homelessness and transform lives.
