Hope Hack Reports (2023)

Report Summary

A Hope Hack is a day-long workshop that gives young people aged 15 to 25 a voice and focuses on their hopes for the future. This involves groups discussions about their thoughts and ideas on issues that affect them, their lives and their communities.

Hope Hacks were created by the Hope Collective, an organisation formed to support the campaign for Damilola Taylor, a 10-year-old boy who wrote of his hope to change the world, shortly before his untimely death in 2000. The Hope Collective honour this legacy and aim to establish real change to help the UK’s most vulnerable communities to be free from poverty, violence and discrimination. They do so by working with young people to create long-term change.

Between February 2023 and February 2024, we held four Hope Hack events, one in each local authority of the Humber region: Bridlington (East Riding of Yorkshire), Grimsby (North East Lincolnshire), Hull (Kingston-upon-Hull) and Scunthorpe (North Lincolnshire).

The below reports focus on the qualitative findings from the events in the Humber region. These findings helped inform our work and contributed to our understanding of what young people think would be the best solutions to problems in their local community.
