HOPE’s unique Christmas following a year like no other

We all know that this year has been a difficult one, a year like no other. A year when we all learned to value our family and friends in new ways, and with a more profound appreciation. Cork based charity, HOPE were looking forward to spending 2020 planning events to celebrate 21 years of the organisation’s work in Kolkata. Instead, The Hope Foundation, who rely completely on donations and fundraising events had to cancel  trips and public events.

When thinking of how to fundraise through Christmas to bring positivity. The HOPE team also recognised how difficult the year has been for people all over Ireland, so they are asking for people to embrace the true spirit of Christmas by helping those who are in desperate need but they also want to give you something back for that special donation.

“Our campaign this year involves a number of ways in which you can help our HOPE family while also doing something very special for members of yours. Why not send a Christmas Star to someone you can’t be with this Christmas? With our virtual Christmas Star map you can dedicate a donation and send a special Christmas message to someone you love, wherever they are in the world. When you send a message, a star will appear over their location and brighten up their Christmas and they will receive an email to link them to their star on the map.” 

said Charlotte Nagle, International Communications Manager

HOPE have teamed up with the beautiful Ballyseede Castle who have donated an incredible prize as a Christmas gift. Why not treat someone you love to a lottery ticket for a limited luxury raffle!  For a €50 donation you can enter our draw to win a weekend stay at the luxurious Castle based in Tralee. You can also buy a Gift of HOPE that will go directly to Kolkata and help change a life. Is there a greater gift you can give?
