Northampton Hope Centre began back in 1974 when local man Michael Mulligan started a free food handout for rough sleepers from the back door of Bishop’s House in Marriott Street. This grew over the years into the Northampton Soup Kitchen and finally developed in the Hope Centre, a Day Centre offering a wide range of services and practical support to Northampton’s homeless.
35 years later, we are still offering life’s basics such as hot meals, showers and clothes. We now also offer a range of life skills workshops and activities to improve our clients self esteem and enable them to move on. Our client group include the street homeless and vulnerably housed along with those who are settled but have ongoing complex needs including drug, alcohol and mental health issues.
We offer practical support, friendship and a sense of community. Without the Hope Centre, many of our clients would have no-where to turn and no hope of improving their future. We see approximately 60 clients each day and it costs £12,500 each month just to keep our doors open.
We are a small friendly charity that relies heavily on the generosity of local people, churches, schools and businesses. Thanks for looking at our Just Giving page and thank you for your support – it makes a huge difference to the lives of some of the most vulnerable people in Northampton.
