Map of Hope
Whether they’re combating the youth mental health crisis, boosting fitness and wellbeing in their local community, or providing vital services for marginalised groups and individuals, the social entrepreneurs we support create hope.
To celebrate this impact, we’re taking part in the A Million Acts of Hope campaign, a nationwide movement designed to fight division by recognising the daily acts of kindness that take place across the UK. We’re encouraging all our social entrepreneurs to share how they change lives for the better - and we’ve also created this interactive Map of Hope, spotlighting 10 incredible founders from across the country. Explore their stories by clicking on the map below.
