We are, at last, delighted to offer our 'Products of Hope' brochure for your perusal.  We were very pleased to receive sponsorship of £5k to get this project off the ground with the Allen Lane Foundation.  We are hopeful of continued funding to further the project and take on staff to train so this can be an ongoing training base and offer real work opportunities and learning in many skills.  It will also be a much needed source of income generation.  We are looking for places where people would be willing to host our products and also purchase products to use i.e. within their offices, so we can get the message out about 'Hope' and Creative Options as a project.  Please contact the e-mail address in the brochure for orders. Thank you.

There will be a 'Celebration of Love' event that will involve the Song in Mind group. The event will be taking place at Hebron Court, Rollesbrook Gardens, Southampton SO15 5WB. See poster below for more details.
