When adversity strikes, it is often the kindness of others that can be instrumental
in helping individuals navigate difficult times.
Supporting Locals Through Life’s Challenges
When tough times hit, it’s often the kindness of others that helps people find their way forward. Team HOPE began in May 2014 as a group of friends rallying to support a local girl with ongoing medical needs. What started as a one-time effort quickly grew into something bigger, as they saw just how many in the Stratford area could benefit from similar support. This realisation led to the creation of the Team HOPE Trust.
Making a Real Difference, One Person at a Time
Our mission is simple: to provide support for individuals within the Central Taranaki area who are facing adversity. This could mean financial assistance, the chance to enjoy a special experience, or simply lifting a burden—even if only for a day. Every person we support is nominated by someone who knows their story, and all nominations are carefully reviewed against criteria set by our Trustees. Since we began, we’ve been proud to stand alongside many in our community when they’ve needed it most.
Powered by Community Generosity
As a registered charitable trust, Team HOPE relies on the support and generosity of those around us. Whether you’re able to donate money, goods, or services—or offer a helping hand at one of our events—your involvement helps make our work possible. Community backing is at the heart of everything we do, and we’re always open to new ways people can get involved and help us spread hope where it’s needed.
