Hope and Homes for Children’s mission is to give hope to the poorest children in the world – those who are orphaned, abandoned or vulnerable – by enabling them to grow up within the love of a family and the security of a home, so they can fulfil their potential.



Hope and Homes for Children has been working in partnership with the St. James's Place Foundation since 1999. The St. James’s Place Foundation’s support has played a fundamental part in enabling us to reach our current stage of development by helping us to demonstrate to governments that children progress best in family settings, where they receive individual attention and a sense of personal worth that all children deserve. Hope and Homes for Children is deeply grateful for the ongoing support and looks forward to making this year's triathlon a great success.

Romania
Hope and Homes for Children started working in Romania in 1998 and has closed 12 institutions to date, moving children into caring family environments. Institutions cause physical and mental harm. However, our experience has shown that children have the potential to make enormous progress when given the individual attention they deserve. In Romania we are currently working to move 320 children into family-based care by closing 4 institutions.

This year, half of the money raised from the triathlon will be spent on our programme in Romania, whilst the remainder will be used wherever the need is greatest. To find out more about the work of Hope and Homes for Children visit www.hopeandhomes.org
