Additional Information

We started as a group of volunteers, and turned our idea into a great social enterprise. Hope 4 The Community was co-founded by university professor and community volunteers. Five amazing people who attended our Hope Programme wellbeing course, became facilitators and company directors. We focus on the 16 million adults in the UK living with a chronic illness. Many lack the knowledge, skills, and confidence to manage their mental health and wellbeing. They often feel stressed, anxious, isolated, and alone. Our courses to date benefited 15,000 people living with cancer, autism, MS and other long-term conditions and their carers including parents of autistic children and children with cancer. “People start as strangers and leave as friends” they often keep in touch and support each other. They also share what they’ve learned with friends, family and work colleagues to “make a positive difference and changing people’s lives”. We are very small, with 1.5 staff and so marketing isn't our strongest side. We are too reactive and want to see if someone could help us to shout out the stories and messages of the people we support. And raise awareness of things people can do to support themselves and others with mental health. Especially now during the pandemic.

Description

We are a social enterprise based in Coventry empowering people living with chronic illness (cancer, autism, depression etc) and their carers to manage their health and wellbeing. We deliver courses called the Hope Programme for people living or affected by different conditions nationwide. We supported 1,500 people since the pandemic started through our online courses. We are predicting that we will be supporting 5,000+ in 2021. We are very small, with 1.5 staff and so marketing isn't our strongest side. We are too reactive (or silent) and to be fair, it feels too much so we don't know where to start. Over the years, we have accumulated stories, blogs, videos, awards but nobody knows what we do as we don't tell them or not the right way! We would love to work with someone who is passionate about mental health or has their own experience living with chronic illness, who would look at what we do/have done/have not done and help us to develop a marketing strategy and plan. With the objective to get our story and stories and messages of the people we support out there. Share some of our free resources as well. We want to increase our following and share things people can do to support themselves and others with mental health. We want to have one simple story - whether we talk to our neighbour or a commissioner. Especially now during the pandemic. We all need Hope! We are grateful for your interest in our add and Hope :) we can have a chat. We are not looking for everything at once! Every little helps. Thank you Gabriela and the Hope team
