WHAT DO WE DO? FIND OUT MORE ABOUT POPPY’S STORY. Have you heard anything about what we do at Help Brings Hope, the things we give out or the people we work with? There are a bunch of reasons why people need our help and this is just one example. Poppy was a single mum being moved into temporary accommodation, she had been part of an abusive relationship and came to us scared, feeling up against the clock and more vulnerable than ever. It was the first time she had heard of us and was looking after a young baby at the time. Poppy first got in touch with us at Help Brings Hope after her and her family were moved into a local hostel, where she had been left with nothing for her and nothing for her baby after having fled a domestic violence. She was panicking and scared as it was the evening at this point and she had no food or nappies, or formula milk to feed her baby. We didn’t want her going out to pick up items on the evening, as she was already scared and feeling alone. I know this from experience, I don’t know if you have ever had somebody that is so reliant on you and no way to care for them. She soon felt comfortable talking to me, especially as I had gone through domestic violence myself and my empathy helped her to feel more at ease. At Help Brings Hope, we have supported her with clothing, food, toiletries, bedding to ensure that none of them have to go without the essentials. And now in 2021, she is moving out of the hostel and into a flat with her baby, a fresh start for them both with new memories and at Help Brings Hope, we are honored to have the pleasure of being part of this journey. Before we say good bye, we will be leaving these two with one final gift and making sure that they have the best possible start in their new home and will be there, by their sides while they get set up in their new home .

We are a secondary school for young people with additional needs. We have embedded classes at secondary mainstream schools in the City and a Post 19 provision in partnership with Askham Bryan College. Our students are at the heart of what we do, and with them we will help them to achieve their aspirations. Our food bank is in place to support our families most in need.

We are a thriving primary school close to the centre of York. Our children, families and community are at the heart of all we do. We currently offer a wide, exciting learning experience to 260 children aged from 2 to 11.
