Meet the team of facilitators that design and deliver the Seeds of Hope Academy. In conjunction with facilitators from our key partnerships they ensure that the space is held for the participants to grow from the seeds of hope that are planted in each encounter.

Kobe Griffiths from England
"Hope has often been used as a placeholder for waiting on other people to do the hard work - here the participants are active in their pursuit of it and that makes it worthwhile"

Adam Linton from Northern Ireland
"The 'Seed' in Seeds of Hope is not the participants themselves, but the relationships that form between the. It's in this space between that potential and possibilities emerge"
