Our Vision
"To provide services to people in Sheffield and Liverpool that will meet their practical needs, raise their levels of aspiration, create opportunity and add value to their lives.
Everything we're about at the Megacentre is all about the people and communities in our cities.
Our aim in all we do is to develop potential, bring hope and add value to the lives of local people. Our social enterprises exist to in part make this possible financially, while our continally expanding community programmes aim to impact people's lives at a very practical level, lifting aspiration and esteem.
Hope City Enterprise, the community arm of the Megacentre was formed in May 2005 as a registered charity no. 1110314 and also a company limited by guarantee no. 5396512. Its purpose is to help disadvantaged people from all backgrounds release the fullness of their potential through educational, social, financial and practical assistance, furthering their ability to positively contribute to the world around them.
