About Hive Hope

Hope for a better future

The vision of Hive Hope is for the residents of Northfleet and the surrounding areas to know there is always hope for a better future, and to empower them to achieve this.

Our mission is to meet the fundamental needs of residents in crisis and support them in practical ways to make that hope a reality.

What We Do

For local people in crisis

We run a food bank which provides emergency food and toiletries for local people in crisis. We also take time to listen to our clients and signpost them to other organisations that might be able to help.

We do not judge those who need help, but will do all we can to meet their immediate needs and work with them toward longer-term solutions. We serve everyone, regardless of their beliefs.

Volunteers supporting the community

Every donation brings hope closer to home

Whether it's a one-off gift, a regular donation, or your time as a volunteer - you can help a Northfleet family get back on their feet.
