The Northampton Hope Centre has been opening its doors to the homeless and disadvantaged for over 35 years.  Based in Ash Street in Northampton, the Hope Centre runs a drop in day centre for homeless people in the town, providing beneficiaries with food, showers, clothes and a safe place to socialise. In addition, the Hope Centre offers a variety of activities designed to encourage people to build their self-esteem and develop new skills. The charity has developed from a soup kitchen into a busy day centre catering for up to 100 people every day. There are 4 full time members of staff as well as 4 part time members but the centre operates daily with the help of over 60 volunteers. The centre is completely dependent on funding donated from the local community, churches and schools.
