about us
Life · Faith · Adventure
Active Hope is a Christian charity based in Warrington. We provide outdoor learning and adventure for children and young people from all backgrounds.
Our qualified, enthusiastic instructors help young people try something new, build confidence and discover what they can achieve. Through shared challenges and adventures, they develop teamwork, communication and other skills for life.
What we aim to do
We want more children and young people to experience the benefits of outdoor adventure, especially those whose opportunities are limited by financial or personal circumstances.
Our programmes provide opportunities to learn, enjoy the outdoors and experience a sense of achievement. We work with schools and other groups to adapt activities to the needs of the young people taking part.
Our Christian values
Our Christian faith inspires everything we do. We aim to show the love of Jesus through practical care, encouragement and respect for every child and young person.
We work with children and young people from all backgrounds. Across our programmes, our values shine through in how we support each person, celebrate their achievements and help them discover their potential.
Some programmes, particularly our school-based Which Way Now project, include Christian teaching or collective worship. Other programmes express our values through adventure, shared experiences and opportunities to reflect. We explain these elements when discussing a programme with your school or group.
Who we work with
We work with primary and secondary schools, churches and organisations supporting children and young people.
This includes young people who need additional support with social, emotional or mental health needs, and those outside mainstream education.
