Hope for Youth (formerly the Women Caring Trust) was founded in 1972 and helps young people in Northern Ireland.

OUR MISSION

Hope for Youth, Northern Ireland believes that community-based projects promote inclusion and support diversity. We provide funding to support art, drama, music, and sports projects that allow opportunities for young people to work together, learn new skills, build friendships, and develop their confidence and creativity.

Every child deserves these opportunities.

Your support can make a real difference - so please get involved or donate what you can.

They monitor every project requesting funds, and work tirelessly to build the profile and ensure the success of all our fundraising events.

Our distinguished patrons represent the diversity of faiths and backgrounds of the people of Northern Ireland, and we are honoured to have as our Chief Patron, HRH The Duchess of Gloucester GCVO, who takes a personal interest in the work of the trust.
