About the Collective

The Hope Collective is a powerful partnership cohort of leading cross-sector organisations with aligned values and a shared vision; to work together in a spirit of unity to create real change for young people and communities across the UK.

Formed originally to support the 20th anniversary legacy campaign for Damilola Taylor, the Hope Collective is driven by a shared purpose – to establish real change that enables UK’s most vulnerable communities to be free from poverty, violence and discrimination.

The Hope Collective will co-design solutions that deliver for young people, amplify their voices and focus on their hopes for the future. The Hope Collective will bring its networks together to create long term solutions that engage communities and influence policy making, to bring about positive change.

Through activity led by the Hope Collective, young people can discuss their thoughts and solutions on issues that affect them, their lives and their communities. The goal of the Hope Collective is to ‘change the narrative’ for young people and focus on solutions, not symptoms, and most importantly to focus on their hopes for the future.

We do not just want to change the conversation around negative issues impacting young people, we want to change the environment and build momentum for a fairer society that gives every young person equal opportunities.
