Northampton Hope Centre

From beginnings as a voluntary soup kitchen in 1974, we have now grown into a strong, forward thinking charity (no 1015743). As well as tending to the basic needs of those who are homeless, vulnerable and in need, with the provision of a Day Centre, we also offer long term recovery support which guides them through incremental steps to an independent, safe and secure life. With support from the Big Lottery we help people access training and work and address barriers to employment. Our vision for our clients is described by Homeless Link, the UK's national association for day centres, as "at the forefront of best practice in changing lives, a model for the modern day centre nationally and a major asset in the fight to end rough sleeping and homelessness."
