New Hope Care – New Hope Brisbane

GIVING HOPE AND A FUTURE

New Hope Care aims to meet the needs of those in Brisbane who require relief from poverty, addiction, grief and distress, as well as loneliness and mental health challenges.

We are committed to and passionate about giving these people hope and a future through a focused strategy to help them overcome their circumstances and re-establish themselves.

New Hope Care also partners with Reto to Hope Australia, a drug and alcohol rehabilitation centre that supports people with addiction problems and at risk of marginalisation.

Kay & Les have been serving at the Kings table for 4 years now! They came as guests on our first ever Soup Kitchen & have been coming ever since! They were living in one of the local hostels, and have enjoyed serving in a number of areas. They now co-ordinate our clothing shop for the guests & have joined in the CAP money (budgeting) course & our men’s & women’s groups.

Beau has been coming for 2 years to the Kings table Soup Kitchen. He was staying at a homeless shelter previously & has a past which includes abuse, violence & addiction. He came for several weeks and was loud & disruptive, like a powder keg about to explode. One day he decided to turn from his old life & make a new start. He asked for some prayer from our team, & he wept like a baby. We noticed the change instantly. He softened, and a peace came over him. He’s now been serving as a waiter for over 18 months, and he’s recently joined our music team playing percussion. He’s had a couple of consistent jobs recently but is looking for something more long-term. Beau calls New Hope his family. And you rarely see him without a smile on his face. He’s on a journey like we all are, and he’s definitely heading in the right direction!
