A decade of impact: Celebrating 10 years of HOPE

As we mark the 10th anniversary of Hope 4 The Community CIC social enterprise, it's a moment to reflect on our journey, the lives touched, and the future. ​

On 20th January 2015, our social enterprise was co-founded by Andy, Wendy, Tina, Vicky and Dave – a university professor and four community volunteers with a shared passion for improving the lives of people living with long-term conditions or caring for someone, inspired by their own experiences.

Since then, so much has changed. With the pandemic and growing pressures on the health and social care systems, we have had to find new ways of delivering support – the kind that really matters to people.

“Hope wouldn’t be what it is today without you. I am grateful to our founders, funders, partners, supporters and participants. Your belief, passion, and commitment have been at the heart of everything we have achieved.”

- Gabriela Matouskova, CEO Hope 4 The Community CIC

Here is our story so far…

On 5th November 2025, we celebrated 10 years of HOPE in Coventry with over 100 participants, facilitators, partners and supporters.
