Our New Year's Resolutions

In this new year of 2012 at the Bethany Hope Centre,  the team plans to continue to work for young parents families with a vision to supporting lasting change and building strong healthy families and community. 

We strive to do this by:
  1. Adapting our programs to respond to the expressed needs of participants including opening once a month on the weekends.
  2. Focusing on safe and secure housing, budgeting, nutrition, food security and employment as the pillars to independence.
  3. Increasing our supports to fathers and couples
  4. Encouraging and supporting peer mentorship and volunteering.
  5. Supporting mental health "wellness"
We continue to look to the community of families we serve to guide us in the mission and work and to give us the motivation to continue on in our growth and development as an organization.

All the best to you and yours in 2012.

2011 Family Christmas Party

We are pleased to highlight another successful Family Christmas Party at Bethany Hope this year. This year's party featured a Balloon  making specialist who entertained the children with his fanciful creations. Seasonal music, a visit to the Mothercraft Elves workshop to make a gift for their parents and singing along with Frosty the snow man  and our talented staff,  were all activities enjoyed by the children and parents.  Special thanks to those who participated in the making of a wonderful brunch with loads of goodies.  Shortly after brunch there was a much anticipated visit from Santa and special gifts for all!

On behalf of all the staff and families at the Bethany Hope Centre,
have a very Merry Christmas and  Happy New Year.
See you in 2012!!!
