Our inspiring community project supports over 300 people every week, powered by the dedication of more than 100 volunteers. From social eating projects and dementia support groups to free meals, a grief and memory café, a community garden, and a toddler group, the Hub has built on years of service to become a true cornerstone of local health and wellbeing. We were recently honoured at the Celebrating Rushcliffe Awards, with the Health and Wellbeing Award, and are so thankful to funding from The National Lottery to develop this out of the Cafe on the Corner over the last few years, and to all those who give their time and energy to create this sanctuary in our community.
