Team Hope is an Irish, Christian and child-focused international development charity founded in 2010. It works in Africa and Eastern Europe to help children affected by poverty or marginalisation. Its best-known activity is the annual Christmas Shoebox Appeal, in which volunteers across Ireland and Northern Ireland check, pack and send gift shoeboxes to children overseas, supported by partner organisations that distribute them. Beyond the appeal, Team Hope runs longer-term community development work, including community savings groups and livelihood initiatives that aim to strengthen families and communities. It also runs Confirming Hope, an education programme for schools and Confirmation students built around the UN Sustainable Development Goals. The charity is governed by a voluntary board, is registered with the Charities Regulator, and publishes audited accounts.
