The Hope Foundation
Hope has been here for people in Middlesbrough since 1995, providing opportunities for learning, access to technology, careers advice, volunteering opportunities and support. Our aim is to reduce disadvantage, loneliness and isolation and help people recognise their potential – because they matter. With Hope’s help many local people have gained skills and qualifications, become volunteers, found employment and made friends.
ABOUT US: 

We are a community charity based in Middlesbrough. We offer support to people within the community around skills and career planning, learning, wellbeing, digital support and we have a popular on site cafe. 

We are a small, friendly and caring charity and we aim to provide care, support and guidance to our service users.

Hope is about giving people hope, for now and for the future. We aim to empower people to help them make their lives better.

 

 

WHY OUR WORK MATTERS: 

We provide opportunities for learning. We work with Middlesbrough College to deliver foundation, level 1, 2 and 3 qualifications in English, Maths and Science. These are delivered by trained tutors on site.

We have a digital library and provide support for those people who are struggling using technology.

Our on site Careers adviser provides support for those seeking work and qualifications. Clear career pathways are produced for those service users seeking help.

We hold several community events and activities on and off site which aim to bring people together, to find friendship and build community.

Our on site cafe provides delicious and good priced meals throughout the day.

We provide opportunities for volunteers.
