Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am organising a gastronomic fun cycle for 25 people. We are cycling from Northampton University to The Menin Gates in Ypres, Belgium. Sponsored by Pidy, my Belgium parent company and supported by Northampton University we hope to raise awareness and a goodly amount of money for a Northampton base homeless charity called the Hope Centre.

In 1974, Michael Mulligan started a daily food handout provided out of his own pocket from the back of Bishops House, Northampton. From these humble beginnings, the kitchen grew and developed it's services. Formerly known as the Northampton Kitchen, the centre went through many ideas for a more modern name that would symbolise the centre as it is today.

In 2005 it became Northampton Hope Centre.

Having visited this centre personally I have been amazed how this charity can help transform lives for those people who have had a rocky journey in this world. They give homeless people food, warmth, comfort and most of all hope.

Supporting people with life skill, care, wellbeing, social enterprises involvement and a whole lot more, this local charity is a beacon of light in our community.

For more information on how you can help support please look up Northampton Hope Centre.
