Hope Enterprises – a vibrant local social enterprise doing good in Northamptonshire
Hope Enterprises: using business to improve society and the lives of individuals in need
Hope Enterprises Community Interest Company or CiC, offers training and work opportunities in a range of small businesses, to people affected by homelessness, drugs, alcohol, poverty, mental health and other disadvantage.
We work within Northamptonshire in the UK. We are part of the Hope group alongside our parent Charity, the Northampton Hope Centre Charity, which has been providing help to people in acute need since 1974.
We have been re-accredited for a further 3 years from Nov 2017 by the Social Enterprise Quality Mark
What we do
We run a range of businesses to provide opportunity for our clients and to raise funds, all profits from which are re-invested into the company or the parent charity. These include:

Our Philosophy
Read about our vision of social enterprise and the pathway from Hope Centre into Hope Enterprises. We believe a social enterprise should not just be about profit, but should:
Benefit individuals who work within it to offer them training, opportunities and support
Benefit the wider community, especially people in need, by producing something valuable or socially useful
Be produced in such a way that benefits society (including the environment)
