Future Hope is a charitable organisation which provides opportunity through its homes, school and medical programme for some of the most vulnerable children from the streets and slums of Kolkata, India.   Every night children sleep alone on the streets and around the city’s main stations. Many are ill, most suffer serious forms of exploitation and all are vulnerable.  Future Hope works to change the lives of destitute children and help them to become independent, self-supporting members of society.

A most enjoyable Curry4Kolkata Kids brilliantly organised and hosted by Harlequins’ player Mark Lambert at the Stoop for 110 Quins’ fans following a successful victory earlier that day over the Jersey Reds. Mark brought along many of his teammates to mingle with the guests, to help serve the curry and to take part in the fun filled and relaxing evening. James Horwill, Chris Robshaw and Kyle Sinckler took part in the Q & A session. Very good atmosphere, delightfully MC'ed, a really lovely occasion!

In June Mark Lambert and Luke Wallace spent another week with the Future Hope children in Kolkata to coach rugby and take part in all the other activities.
