Chairman of the Guyana branch of the organization, Jocelyn Dolphin, was accompanied by Terrence Haynes, who is also a member of the organization.

Hope and Future is a charitable organization operated from the head office in the United Kingdom and it has established a branch in Guyana which has been working in a few socially depressed areas through sports since its existence two years ago.

The head of the local body is Graeme Clark and its head office is located at 42 Phoenix Park, West Coast Demerara (WCD).

The chairman of the organization said the main goal of the organization is to create a diversion from negative activities through sports among individuals who are likely to be affected.

They have set up training centres for people to learn multiple skills that may help them in  future while  the Hope and Future organization has been supplying them with the required tools.

They also disclosed that they will be moving to numerous areas across the country such as New Amsterdam, Essequibo, and Laluni  in their effort to make a positive impact on society.
