Robin Hope
On Tuesday, we released Robin Hope’s story. Robin’s birth father migrated from Grenada to Britain in 1959 and his mother shortly after. He was born in London on 26 April 1961. However, his parents quickly separated and he was thus brought up by his mother and later step father. After regular visits to Hull in the late 1980s, Robin decided to move to the region. He has worked and lived in Hull for over two decades raising his son who was born in Hull.
