Future Hope is a charitable organisation that provides
opportunity through its homes, school and medical programme
for some of the most vulnerable children from the streets and
slums of Kolkata, India.
Every night children sleep alone on the streets and around the
city’s main stations. Many are ill, most suffer serious forms of
exploitation and all are vulnerable. Future Hope works to
change the lives of destitute children and help them to become
independent, self-supporting members of society.
Since it was founded in Kolkata in 1987 by Tim Grandage Future
Hope has touched more than 3,500 young lives and many
thousands more families. A number of homes for boys and for
girls aim to provide children from 5 to 19 years old, with the
fundamental aspects of normal family life, whilst Future Hope
School offers an all round education from kindergarten to Class
10 for these children and vulnerable children from nearby slums
who attend as day scholars. Sport and many other activities
broaden their horizons and foster their talents. In addition Future
Hope supports young people to complete Classes 11 and 12,
through to University or Skills Training and helps them to find
paid employment.

Calcutta Golf Society, at the 2025 Future Hope Charity
Golf Day, aimed to raise £20,000 needed by Future Hope
for replacement school vehicles.
£36,000 was actually raised: the surplus is going to cover
the cost of repairing the 100 year-old Rowland Rd school
building, which houses the youngest children of Future
Hope and is also the day school for some 400 plus
students. While it requires regular maintenance, the last
major refurbishment was done in 2019.
