Focus4Hope was founded in 2016 by a group of friends wanting to make a difference in their local area. Since then, we have grown into a prominent non-profit and pillar of the community, having had the opportunity to help thousands of local vulnerable people. We provide the region with essential services, focusing primarily on supporting local homeless, elderly, and otherwise isolated/lonely individuals. We also fundraise, and organise a variety of events, including fortnightly outreach programs in West Yorkshire. Focus4Hope was proud to become the first social supermarket in the Calderdale region in February 2023 helping the elderly, disabled and vulnerable in our community. We run this alongside Calderdale Credit Union, making sure our members save as they shop. We offer the supermarket as a community wide non-eligibility service. You register online. We run budgeting courses and financial reviews alongside this service to make sure people are getting the correct benefits and can budget their money. Helping to complete PIP forms, DLA and giving our members a bubble of support. We refer to other services in the area to help people in all aspects of their lives. We run our FOcus4SEN support group, a safe space for the SEND community to get advice and speak with other carers to help with day to day issues. Our senior day trips and afternoon teas run monthly. Taking our senior community all over Yorkshire, the days out are a life line if you live on your own. Making friends and combatting isolation and loneliness. Our community hub in the centre of Brighouse is open Monday to Friday for any crisis drop ins.

The Halifax Community Fridge, is open daily enabling residents and businesses to share surplus food and for anyone to help themselves to quality food that would otherwise be wasted. Unlike food banks, the Halifax Community Fridge is not means-tested - it is available to anyone. It is also discreetly situated and avoids any stigma its users may otherwise feel. The Halifax Community Fridge launched in August 2020, and has remained open every-single-day since. We are open 365-days-a-year, and are a lifeline for up to 100 families each day. No questions are asked, everyone is welcome. Working alongside Neighbourly has enabled us to support our towns local supermarkets in drastically reducing their carbon footprint and food wastage, which in-turn has stopped our community from going to sleep hungry. The work of the Halifax Community Fridge extends beyond free food and drink, everything we do is free to the community that we love to serve. We offer free winter coats, free sanitary packs for females, free pet food to owners and pets in need, free household items to support families in need and so much more We feature regularly in local and national media, showing the incredible work of the community fridge project and how it has brought our community together. In doing so, we have redistributed millions of items of food and drink back into our local community. Our work is spreading across the U.K., in supporting other Mosques and organisations in setting-up their own community fridges and serve their diverse communities, we are in the process of supporting around 20 organisations to support different communities across the country, examples are provided: Birmingham Community Fridge: https://www.neighbourly.com/project/67aa5fc339570a98e11db096 JTI Community Fridge: https://www.neighbourly.com/project/658465f445476114d40756b2 Keighley Community Fridge: https://www.neighbourly.com/project/6783c6ef823a3f527caa5fd1 Ashton Community Fridge: https://www.neighbourly.com/project/66df7367c6579d8b4c3cce1a Here’s some recent links from the media regarding our work: https://www.calderdalechildcare.org.uk/kb5/calderdale/fsd/service.page?id=aeQeVWscSc8 https://www.halifaxcourier.co.uk/news/people/award-for-halifax-mosque-project-which-is-a-lifeline-for-towns-most-vulnerable-4886288 https://www.halifaxcourier.co.uk/news/people/halifax-community-fridge-national-award-for-halifax-pharmacist-hero-who-goes-above-and-beyond-4285769 https://www.halifaxcourier.co.uk/news/people/halifax-community-fridge-the-selfless-volunteers-who-have-been-out-every-day-for-1000-days-feeding-halifaxs-hungry-4123860 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-england-leeds-56201351 https://www.examinerlive.co.uk/news/west-yorkshire-news/free-food-fridge-halifax-bringing-20600051.amp
