Hartlepool Community Trust and Hartlepower CIC share an origin – the vision and early actions of a small group of Hartlepool residents with a shared passion for improving life for people in Hartlepool. Now separate organisations, independently governed and with different overlapping missions, there remains a close working relationship between the two.
Hartlepower CIC generously supports the charity by providing space in their Greenbank premises, free of charge. The CIC also plans to support Hartlepool Community Trust financially as soon as it is able. To discover more about Hartlepower CIC click the button below.
