The Hope Programmes are typically ran either as face-to-face groups at a local venue in Cornwall, or online using Zoom or Microsoft Teams.
Each weekly session usually lasts for around 2 hours and 30 minutes, and is run by trained Hope facilitators: health and social care professionals as well as volunteers. Once you have completed the course you may wish to become a facilitator yourself.
We have between 6 – 12 people on each course to ensure everyone’s contribution, and feeling more of a group. Time on the course will be spent in discussions, fun group activities and sharing information. There will also be some suggestions and ideas to try between each session to build your confidence.
The Hope Programme has gone digital and is available to anyone living in the South West of England, over the age of 18.
The digital Hope Programme differs from the face-to-face courses in that it is not a ‘live’ programme, it is accessible 24/7 for 6-8 weeks. This means you can complete the programme in your own time and at your own pace, but still with full support from trained facilitators. An ideal and more suitable programme if you are working, keeping busy and can’t commit to the set/dates time of the face-to-face and virtual courses.
The courses are organised by Hope For The Community CIC. Please visit their website to find the right digital Hope Programme for you.
