Spaces of Hope

We live in uncertain times. The pandemic has shaped all our lives. We are on the edge of the precipice of climate emergency. Brexit has divided our communities. The fighting in Ukraine has brought war closer than it has been for nearly 80 years. And we face a cost of living and energy crisis.

Spaces of Hope has been coproduced by over 900 people from the North West of England to respond to the uncertainties that are increasingly shaping our lives. Since its inception in 2016, Spaces of Hope has developed a movement that has catalysed networked gatherings and dialogues that have brought hope to people serving through work of 70+ organisations, across 14 communities, 5 local authority areas, 2 universities and 3 Diocese. As we learn to live with COVID, Spaces of Hope will explore new forms of dialogue, local leadership and shared values that can rebuild society for all.
