HCT Group is a social enterprise in the transport industry that began in 1982 with the establishment of Hackney Community Transport, initially focused on providing affordable minibuses for local community groups.

Today, HCT Group has expanded significantly, operating ten depots across the UK, employing around 800 staff, and maintaining a fleet of 500 vehicles. The enterprise generates substantial revenue, with a turnover of £43.7 million reported for the 2013/14 financial year.

Framework is a specialist charity providing housing, support, training, care, resettlement and employment for thousands of homeless and vulnerable people each year in the East Midlands and parts of South Yorkshire. For a homeless person, getting a secure roof over their head is a crucial first step –finding somewhere that is safe, dry and warm. However, to tackle homelessness effectively it is not sufficient simply to put a roof over someone’s head, and our work does not stop there. The underlying economic, social, medical and emotional circumstances which contributed to an individual’s situation must also be addressed: we passionately believe that having someone who cares and can offer appropriate support is equally important in helping people on the journey from homelessness to independent living.
