HISTORY
Hope For The Community Community Interest Company is an award winning organisation. We have won multiple awards for achieving growth, sustainability, widening reach and international impact.
Our social enterprise was co-founded in 2015 by Andy Turner and four community members, Tina Malin, Wendy Dingley, Dave McHattie and Vicky Harker. These four amazing people attended the Hope Programme, then became facilitators and trainers, then company directors.
