Story of Springs of Hope

4. Siblings from The Hutchinson
family began the charity in July
2009 and their first project involved
them in donating computers to
Lacovia Primary School in St.
Elizabeth, on the south coast of
Jamaica

5. In 2011, Dulcie, the sister of the family came across another school that
needed her support and so she along with members of Springs of Hope
began providing additional educational equipment they received from
donations to Windsor Basic School, St. Ann’s Bay, on the
north coast of Jamaica.

7. As the charity has developed over the last 6 years, Springs of Hope have
become involved in supporting other schools and projects that needed
help with educational resources and in improving the lives of children
and young people in lesser developed areas both locally and globally.

8. Over the last 6 years, Dulcie and her
brothers have enlisted the help of
others to support the charity. The
new members have volunteered and
supported the development of the
charity, helping with events and
supporting the charity to it’s Limited
company status and in securing Gift
Aid to maximise monies raised to
support the projects of Springs of
Hope

9. In the last year Springs of Hope decided to support Windsor Basic
School, St. Ann’s Bay with raising funds to enable them to build an
extension to their school. As the years have passed the success of the
local school, which is on squatted land and so receives so no support
from the government has
meant they can no
longer fit in their
current accommodation

10. Springs of Hope have been working in partnership with Daneford Trust
(UK) and Direct Abundance (Canada) to support the building of the
extension through raising funds for the building materials. In May
volunteers from Direct Abundance went to Jamaica and continued with
the building
works that
had begun
in 2014

11. In the last financial year we have been working towards raising fund
towards the continued extension works; We held a quiz night and a
Christmas Bazaar.

12. 2015.....
As the charity has developed we are now moving into a new era, we have
been looking at what we do and who we choose to support and have
decided to narrow down our works to support children and young
people locally and in Jamaica only.
We are changing our status to enable us to become a Registered Charity
and are moving towards becoming an Incorporated Charitable
Organisation (ICO) Moving in this direction enables us to focus our
support and raise funds in a more robust way that will cause maximum
affect for those we continue to help.

13. We would like to take this opportunity to Thank all those people who
have supported Springs of Hope in the last 6 years in reaching our goals
to support disadvantaged children & young people all over the world.
With a special thanks to our partners:
