The House of Hope Scotland

Today marks the start of breast cancer awareness month and our team are having a great day so far at the @volunteer.edinburgh recruitment fayre! Volunteers are the heartbeat of any charity and we are looking for volunteers to join us across a number of areas 🩷

I'm taking part in 'Step up for The House of Hope' 5K a Day Any Way this August. This cause means a lot to me because I have lost a number of friends and family to various forms of the C-word over the years including breast cancer. Good luck for the rest of the month Kate!

Meet Gillian one of our volunteers who is working with us to use her lived experience of living with secondary breast cancer to help other people. #breastcancer #volunteersweek #thehouseofhopescotland

It’s volunteers week! One of our voluntary trustees Emma Walker told us a little bit more about what the project means to her. #volunteerweek #trustee #dedication

What a woman! We could not be any prouder of Aileen who has made it to Everest base camp! Taking on this challenge is physically demanding but adding in Aileen’s own diagnosis with secondary breast cancer has added extra complexity to this trek. #houseofhopeheroes #fundraiser

Today’s Friday Fundraiser spotlight is shining on the lovely Rachel ‘ I am doing the marathon for The House of Hope in honour of my wonderful colleague, Sam Bertram. Her positive attitude to everything and aim to raise awareness and understanding has been really inspiring.
