The vision for Hope House emerged in 2017 when St Thomas’ Church in Brampton realised there was a gap in homeless provision in Chesterfield. However we believed that a the answer to homelessness isn’t just a bed for the night but a home -a place where someone truly belongs.

A run down lodging house then came available to lease and Hope House was established. With a lot of generous donations and support from St Thomas’, other churches, individuals, local businesses and organisations we were able to renovate the building to the standard it is at today. In 2011 we took in our first residents.
The accommodation now consists of twelve individual bedrooms, a communal lounge, dining room and kitchen.
A Board of Trustees, who are all volunteers, has the overview of the operation of Hope House.
The House is run and our residents are supported 24/7 by our faithful and hardworking Staff.
We do not take direct referrals, but work through Pathways of Chesterfield, a support and advice service for the homeless and those at risk of becoming homeless.
