The Hoxton Trust works to make Hoxton, Hackney and beyond a better place to live. We do this by investing in people to enable them to realise their potential, creating a mutually respectful, friendly, supportive environment where we work with people to help them learn, develop and solve their problems when working with others in order to create a network of support for our community.

At The Hoxton Trust, we are committed to working in a non-judgmental way that respects people as individuals and enables them to make a difference to their community space. We believe that friendship and team working can help us to listen and respond to the needs of those we work with.

We train approximately 100 students each year, that have previously been long-term unemployed, to become gardeners in the work place. These learners arrive with a lack of confidence, often have mental health problems to deal with and many having learning disabilities. We also deliver free legal advice to approximately 1000 clients each year and achieve approximately one million pounds for them in benefits that they otherwise would not have been able to access.
