The Hope Centre is a community training, learning, development and pastoral care centre on Western Avenue in Blacon.

For the last 10 years it has been managed by Barnabas Associates, a faith based Christian charity, under the personal direction of Frank Collins, the Chief Officer.  The work has included training and development of individuals, community leaders and activists, community groups, as well as pastoral care and support for the local community and beyond.

The Hope Centre was a central member of the Pathfinder Board from inception and throughout its life, and worked continuously for the success of that project for the good of the community and people of Blacon, as well as very successful early days training for the community and agency board members.
