Global Hope

Global Hope gives students and staff the opportunity to engage with the ever growing Hope community by working with close partners on worthy causes around the world. It is an award-winning programme with recognition from the Josephine Butler Foundation Trust in 2018.

What does volunteering on a Global Hope project involve?

The Global Hope team secures many projects every year, with a variety of volunteering opportunities that addresses millennium development goals. It is a 4 week programme during the summer where you travel to another country to support Global Hope’s project partners. Projects can range from engaging in community activities, to working with disadvantaged children. This range allows students to choose a project which best suits their interests.

Global Hope is part of the Service and Leadership Award (SALA), students must apply to SALA to take part in a Global Hope project. Being part of a Global Hope Project helps with many of the tasks for SALA, and provides you with a unique experience while you complete them.

All members of Liverpool Hope University are welcome to apply. Staff and students from Hope travel together to project locations each year.

How is it funded?

Global Hope is funded by the University, and through participant contributions. In order to participate on a project, students must normally raise a minimum contribution of £1,500 for their overseas adventure. The Global Hope team offer workshops to help students in their fund raising effort and have a fundraising assistant dedicated to helping individuals reach the target. Students may also be eligible for a Turing grant, which the University can help students access.
