About Hope Street
This year, the British Red Cross is unveiling Hope Street, a two-day immersive installation at Battersea Power Station. Visitors can explore five doors, each revealing a true story of resilience from countries including Türkiye, Eswatini, Syria, Ukraine, and Bangladesh.
From communities rebuilding after earthquakes to people adapting to climate change, Hope Street is full of powerful stories. Each one illustrates the resilience of communities and how with support from Red Cross and Red Crescent teams, they recover and rebuild, creating lasting change and hope for the future.
Stories of hope like the ones behind the doors at Hope Street have been made possible thanks to the generous funds raised by players of People’s Postcode Lottery and wider global Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement supporters.
Together, we can help communities build resilience
Behind every story of hope and resilience is humanity. Your support helps make change possible. Join us in opening the door to hope across the globe.

What gives people hope?
Three boxes show the percentages for what brings hope to people.
While global conflicts and climate change are significant concerns, many people draw optimism from human connection and collective action. Seven in ten Britons say they feel hopeful about their future - and millennials are the most optimistic of all, according to new research from the British Red Cross.
Acts of kindness (54%), scientific advances (53%), and seeing communities support each other in times of crisis (44%) were cited as key sources of hope. Nearly everyone surveyed (95%) said that witnessing communities recover after an emergency was vital to maintaining their own sense of optimism.
