On the 8th September 2016 I will be leaving Northampton on my bike with fellow R4H cyclists arriving in Ypres on the 11th. We are going via Harwich and the Hook of Holland  which is not the most direct route!

The Northampton Hope Centre is a vibrant local charity that works to relieve poverty and tackle the causes of homelessness in Northampton by giving people a hand up and not just a hand out.  Recognising that if you continually provide hand outs there is no incentive to become self sufficient, their work is focused on helping others to help themselves, providing support and services that will enable individuals to take back control of their own lives.  Through giving training and work, at a fair rate of pay, in a supportive environment, they help people to re-join society and stand on their own two feet.  Hope enterprises has three elements Hope Catering, Hope Tools and Hope PAT Testing.
