Community Support Hub is a multi-agency network of statutory, community and voluntary organisations that provides a warm space for residents to have a cup of tea and connect with local service providers. The Community Support Hub provides an opportunity for residents to meet with key support organisations to receive advice and guidance around matters relating to housing, food, fuel, universal credit, advice provision and more. The hub features information on home safety, waste management, training and employability, health and wellbeing, as well as signposting to key support organisations in order to help people access the right help for their circumstances.
The Community Support Hubs will be open to anyone across the Borough and each location will run on a fortnightly basis.
