| HCT Group is a social enterprise in the transport industry. Their story starts in 1982 with the formation of Hackney Community Transport, providing low cost minibuses for local community groups – a service they provide to this day.In 1993, with traditional grants under threat, they came to the realisation that the best way to become asustainable social enterprise was to become an effective enterprise. They began to compete for commercial contracts in the marketplace to ensure they could continue to provide community transport.HCT Group service users This approach has seen HCT Group grow from a handful of volunteers and a couple of minibuses, with a turnover of £202k in 1993 – to a large scale social enterprise with 800 employees, ten depots spread across London, Yorkshire, Humberside, the Southwest and the Channel Islands, a fleet of 500 vehicles and a 2013/14 turnover of £43.7m.Their commercial track record spans a wide range of services – from London red buses to social services transport, from school transport to Park and Ride, from community transport to education and training. They now deliver well over 20 million passenger trips on their buses every year. You can find a full breakdown of the services they provide across the group here. | $23.3M / Debt Financing / Jun 19, 2018 | ||
| 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. | $11.8M / Jan 11, 2016 |
