About Hope Creative
As HOPE Creative – Bristol Beacon’s award-winning programme of creative activity for care experienced young people, approaches it’s 10 year anniversary, this week allows us to reflect on and celebrate the project we are so proud of as an organisation.
HOPE Creative started off delivering choir sessions to a small group of care experienced young people, once a month. It now delivers all kinds of music activity almost daily in multiple settings to babies, children in care, care leavers and through our wonderful foster carer choir, FoStars.
