Community

We exist exclusively for the benefit of the people in our community. We want to ensure every member of our community has access to food, skills and equipment either free or at very low cost.

Volunteer

If you would like to get involved with The Hub, have a look at the different initiatives we run, and decide which you would prefer to be part of. It may be that there is more than one initiative that interests you, and that’s great. Simply pop into the Hub and have a chat with one of the volunteers or management team.

Donate

We want to provide people with the opportunity to learn and share their knowledge with others. We strive to encourage and facilitate people to reach their potential, improve confidence and their understanding of the world we live in.

Corporate Social Responsibility

If you are a business, looking to improve your CSR, then look no further.

We have a multitude of options to offer from corporate litter pick days, supporting the Community Fridge, spending a day in the community garden,  conducting a skill share session or helping with the Library of Things.

We kindly ask for a financial contribution of £10 per volunteer, which helps us to cover our costs, and keep the Hub running.
