Hope and Aid Direct

Hope and Aid Direct is a Registered Charity that delivers Humanitarian Aid; usually in a convoy of Lorries, and usually twice a year, directly into the hands of the people that need it.

Hope and Aid Directs? Volunteers come from every corner of the UK (and sometimes abroad) and from all walks of life. Hope and Aid Direct have been involved in various projects such as rebuilding, redecorating, refurbishing, re-supplying and re-equipping, and we work with anyone who needs our support ranging from sick and/or abandoned children to the elderly and infirm. We have set up ?cottage industry? projects, and re-supplied schools, hospitals, orphanages and even a prison. Most of our work is with Refugees, Returnees, Displaced Persons, or those at risk.
