Bringing
Hope Launches
Website
Bringing
Hope is proud
to launch its
website which
is designed to
inform and guide
those wanting
to combat issues
of guns, drugs,
knives, gangs
and its underlying
causes.
Established
in 2004 the project
works to coordinate
and mobilise
a church response
to the challenges
that have attracted
media attention
to the inner
city and inflamed
fear in communities
across Birmingham.
Project
Coordinator
Nicola Linton
works alongside
the project’s
Consortium group
to develop a
plan to engage
churches and
build partnerships
to deliver this
work.
She
says “Bringing
Hope is not just
another project
but a movement
to address the
social exclusion
and disaffectedness
that often precipitates
involvement in
illegal and harmful
activity. This
website serves
to be a point
of information
and a point of
hope for all
those who want
to help but don’t
know how and
for those entrenched
in this lifestyle
who do not see
a way out”
Features
of this website
include a resource
page with contact
details of key
organisations
and agencies
working with
people considered
disaffected or ‘hard
to access’,
a prayer page
and a breakdown
of how different
groups and people
can respond to
guns, drugs and
gangs.
