Raising money for Northampton Hope Centre

Charity Registration No. 1015743

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. <p> 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. <p> 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. <p> 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.

Our annual Sponsored Sleepout is happening on Friday February 3rd 2012. There will be between 50 and 80 of our wonderful supporters sleeping outside in the cold from 6pm to 6am in order to raise awareness of homelessness in Northampton and to raise essential funds. In 2011 the temperature dropped to -4c at the Sleepout - it will be a challenging night for us all.

We hope to raise £18,000 which could pay for a full time worker to help our clients break the cycle of homelessness, addiction, unemployment & poverty. Please sponsor us for whatever you can and add a message of support for your friends....it makes all the difference!

Thank you so much - from the Northampton Hope Centre and everyone taking part in the Sleepout 2012.
