What are people saying?
“Emma from Bottles of Hope delivered a really engaging presentation to our Year 10s on the charity. The students were able to find out more about how Bottles of Hope came about and what it tries to achieve in the communities in which it works. Following the talk, they were inspired to organise some small-scale charitable events to raise money to support the work of Bottles of Hope. This was a really useful learning experience for them in so many different ways. Thank you Emma.”
— Claire Riches, Head of Year, The Abbey School
“We were proud to support Bottles of Hope at our live crowdfunding event in partnership with EY in 2018. Bottles of Hope was able, with only a small amount of funding, to positively impact the lives of over 500 people by providing safe, sustainable lighting. Emma and Jehan were incredibly professional to work with and provided us with a detailed impact report following the funding. Their approach supports people on many levels and ticks lots of the boxes that funders like us look for – an excellent return on investment, innovative approach and entrepreneurial business model.”
