Staff from local agencies have shared with us how our Renewed Hope's services make a difference to the community through the work of our volunteers.
East Surrey Outreach Service works with rough sleepers across 4 Surrey boroughs. They are often at our Drop-In meeting their clients.
One of their keyworkers said, "I am blown away by how wonderful the volunteers are, the food is always cooked with such love. They are an inspiration, giving their time to serve sometimes difficult service users. It makes my heart so warm to witness the shared love. As for the service, what would our clients do without this safe warm and loving place. The drop-in service is priceless."
"It makes my...

It's always nice when you hear back from people who we've supported. This is from Alex, one of our residents who recently moved out of Hope House.
"I want to say a huge thankyou to you all for keeping me off of the streets, out of danger and for all the help on so many different things over these past few months. I hope I've left the room in the best of states for you to quickly move someone new into. You have all gone above and beyond in the speedy growth and re-development for me and I'd never be able to repay your kindness, but I hope one day to be able to support the charity in some form. I won't be a stranger to the drop-in centre and wish you all the very best in your ventures both...
Renewed hope are delighted to be part of Run Reigate again this year. We are slightly older than Run Reigate, as we started in 2011 in Redhill, and have been offering daily help to homeless and vulnerable people through our drop in centre and winter night shelters ever since. As a local community based organization, we are very pleased to be part of this community celebration.
On 17th September, as well as cheering on our ”Team Renewed Hope” runners , we will be in the race village all day so look out for our red gazebo and come and say hello.
Can You Help?

Everyone at Renewed Hope would like to pay tribute to one of our founders, Ian Buckland, who has sadly died.
Nearly 15 years ago, Ian was one of the Redhill Street Pastors who saw a need for a winter night shelter during his time at the Salvation Army in the town.
Hope 2540 was born and the night shelter started in the winter of 2011/12. In its first year, it ran for just 6 weeks in a handful of venues, serving homeless people from the Reigate and Banstead Borough to begin with.
Volunteers and guests from the early years will remember him for his gregarious personality, firm but kind and with an unwavering passion for helping homeless people.
He was visionary and without him R...
