Linda, Cecilia and Tom hit the headlines in the local newspaper with their presentation of the Hope Centre petition to a full meeting of Northampton Borough Council. 

Three service users of the Hope Centre, they told their stories to the councillors - about how Hope enabled them to start to turn their lives around. 

They presented the petition - with the online petition and a paper copy there were a total of over 14,000 signatures. You can still sign it - we'll present it to Midland Heart at a later date.

Thanks to everyone for the fantastic support that made this possible. And thanks to Linda, Cecilia and Tom for their courage and skill in speaking out.
