Do you want a healthier, more hopeful and connected society? Are you seeking connected and collaborative ways of expressing everything that you care about, through the things that you do in your community, work place and across your networks?  Do you want to see the things that have gone unseen in our public life for so long, return? Do you simply need a different way of seeing the world? Spaces of Hope has a range of dialogue and design tools that gives you the framework, processes and principles to inspire the right practices for you.   Our mantra is 'if it is in the root, it is in the fruit'.  Would you like us to help you plant your own Spaces of Hope? 

​We have built a base in Stockport and a network across the North West, curating and supporting events on average once per month for the last 2 and a half years, connecting personally with a network of over 350 people working locally across 60+ organisations, 11 communities, 3 local authority areas, 2 universities and 1 Diocese.  
Bishop of Chester says,“the thing I was left with having read the [conference] material was that verse from John’s gospel ‘I have come that they may have life, life in all its fullness’. If I were trying to name in a contemporary spirituality what people in our society strive for, it would be something like that; ‘life in all its fullness’. I think dialogue between people of different faith communities, people of no faith and people with an interest in human flourishing to gather together and to explore what human flourishing might mean in today’s world and our society must be a good thing”

Bishop of Stockport says "Spaces of Hope brings together all our different parts and elements into a shared public space to be able to discuss openly and fully with one another, each from our own experience and belief base and world view and with our expertise, in order to discover how we best care for one another. So, I think the opportunities for Spaces of Hope are almost endless because they will be necessary and valuable in every community, potentially"
