We are proudly an Adelaide based Foundation. |
The Love Hope & Gratitude Foundation was founded in 2015 by our founder Glyn Scott. Click here to learn more about Glyn Scott.
The Foundation was created out of need and a passion by our founder to see a better life and future for those affected by domestic violence, child sexual abuse and homelessness. The Love, Hope & Gratitude Foundation is the culmination of Glyn's determination and compassion for victims of domestic violence, sexual abuse and homelessness. The Foundation seeks to help victims in a variety of ways including counselling, advocacy and refuge accommodation for adults, children and pets.

Our Aim |
To provide appropriate shelter, comfort and support
for people and animals requiring a safe haven from abuse, abandonment or hardship. Firstly, we want to build a self supporting, secure shelter for women and children escaping domestic violence and abuse. Currently there is a shortfall of truly suitable accommodation and the purpose built nature of which we are proposing to construct. Secondly, there is a considerable lack of accessible accommodation for homeless people young and old, in our cities and rural areas. This needs to be addressed urgently on a national level. Pets Unfortunately in situations of domestic violence pets are a common forgotten casualty. So we wish to build a suitable facility to house the pets of fleeing families, while their owners find permanent accommodation. We are developing programs to aid behavioural change, in clubs, groups and organisations, by supporting and encouraging the individual. |

Our Philosophy.
|
We are all about bringing greater love, hope and gratitude, this is what it means to us.
Love Unconditional love means love without conditions: it has no demands, no limits, no requirements and no thoughts of reciprocation. Unconditional love is not affected by reality or any behaviour and is free of oaths and contracts, anticipation, expectation and attachments. Unconditional love is impervious to approval or disapproval, it does not need to be coddled or pampered in order to flow. It is the art of doing nothing and being everything. Unconditional love never fades, whether you do right or wrong, you’re always in my heart to love completely with no conditions or circumstances. Hope Hope is the optimistic attitude of the mind and heart. An expectation of positive outcomes, of events and circumstances in one’s life or the world around us. Hope comes when crisis looms. When there is a great need, hope comes in an unusual way. It comes from the four areas of the self. Cognitive, psychological, social or physical perspectives… Hope instils optimism. Hopeful folk say - “I think I can, I know I can… Yes I can!” Based on a realistic sense of belief. Hope is the existence of a goal and a determination to reach it. A materialising force for change, believing that good will triumph over evil. Gratitude To express true gratitude is to never forget that showing appreciation is not the words we utter, but how we live by them. Being thankful for what we have. When one works through gratitude great things are achieved. Gratitude is knowing how to be kind to one another. And the smallest act of gratitude and thanks is worth far more than the effort it takes to give it. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, creates a vision for tomorrow and opens our eyes to the limitless potential of the universe. |
