WE NEED YOUR HELP!

It’s the time, commitment, will power and determination of a group of volunteers that enabled us to build the Hub.
So why not join us as a volunteer? No matter who you are, what skills you have or how much time you have to give; there is a way you can help.
We are currently looking for volunteers for:
- The community café
- Looking after our trees and plants and growing some tomatoes and herbs
- Keeping our wonderful Hub tidy, secure and safe
- Helping in the Community Food Store
- Collecting food from supermarkets and making food deliveries to local residents who are unable to visit the HubC

We are incredibly lucky to have been supported by local donations and a range of funders. We raised over £2m to build the Hub. But our work never stops and we have big plans to expand what’s on offer at the Hub. If you think you could contribute to our cause then we would love to hear from you.

Join Our Panel
If you are interested in shaping the future direction of the Hub then please get in touch about joining our Panel. We meet every 2 months with a panel of residents and key partners.
