INSPECTORS have judged a family centre in Bromyard to be 'good' with 'outstanding features', in a new report.

The report, compiled after a visit by education watchdog Ofsted before Christmas, says the HOPE Family Centre is highly respected and valued in the community.

The centre provides health services and childcare support as well as help for families and adult training.

HOPE chief executive, Sheenagh Davis, said: “The excellent Ofsted report is a reflection that hard work and perseverance pays off. At HOPE there is a motivated, enthusiastic and highly experienced team of staff and volunteers who really are making a difference in the lives of families and the community.

"I was particularly pleased with the outstanding features which highlighted our work with partners and the positive contribution we make to the lives of the families we work alongside."
