No-one should feel isolated, alone and so low they take their own lives. Tope was a young man who meant so much to so many, especially children and young people who looked up to him. Tope was brought up in care and sadly took his own life.

Friends of his were devastated but determined to turn pain into positivity so The Tope Project was born. Christmas day can be a particularly difficult time for people who weren't brought up by their biological families. The Tope project organise a big free positive event for careleavers to combat isolation at Christmas. The Tope project is entirely run by volunteers and is entirely dependent on donations and gifts.

Last year saw over 70 young people having an amazing time meeting each other, playing games, eating, getting presents, sharing pain and promoting positivity in the face of it. We know there is a massive need for this event. We just need your help to pull it off again.
