Please ‘Help The Hub’ to Help our Community!

This is a critically important time for our community, and for the development of The Hub. With many local residents (particularly the older and vulnerable in our community) facing the challenges of the cost-of-living crisis, and still reeling from the Covid pandemic, demand for The Hub’s services continues to rise.
We also have exciting plans for additional services to meet more of our community’s needs during 2024.
However, we too are faced with rising costs to run the charity, and reduced income from grants – on top of this increased demand for our services – so we are appealing for your urgent support to help us to help our community.
Only with your support will we be able to bridge the growing gaps in our local society.
It will cost around £65,000 to run The Hub this year – just over £5,000 per month – and we are hoping this appeal to our public and local businesses will raise half of this amount.
Your support is vital to ensure we can continue to help people like Sarah* (name changed for privacy).
Please join us in this important mission today!
