Hanover Park

The community of Hanover Park is literally just 10 minutes from Harfield Village, but for all intents and purposes might as well be on a different planet. Our neighbours in Hanover Park are experiencing unfathomable challenges of gangsterism, crime, violence, poverty and hunger. The HVA is deeply committed to developing sincere and genuine relationships with civic partners in the community of Hanover Park to assist these organisations in whichever way that we can to overcome these challenges.
One of the silver linings resulting from the Covid-19 crisis was the establishment of just such relationships with the Alcardo Andrews Foundation and The Fish Rite Hanover Park Cricket Club.

During the Covid-19 crisis in 2020 the HVA launched a “Campaign of Goodness” to assist raise funds and other forms of assistance for the community of Hanover Park and other organisations.

The HVA launched a very “Sandwich Saturday” drive which took place over several weeks with more than 15 000 sandwiches collected by the Harfield Village team and delivered to Hanover Park.
