Hope and Homes for Children is an international charity working to ensure that all children have the chance to grow up in the love of a family. We are leading experts in closing children's institutions and reforming childcare systems.




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 the Herts Charity Challenge a great success.
