The Community Hub is a close collaboration of three charities: South Brent & District Caring with the Old School Community Centre and Sustainable South Brent (SSB). We have been generously funded £10,000 by The National Lottery Community Fund for 2024 -2025 to provide the space and offer services and groups to the community.
The Hub is open with a volunteer present or on-call Mon-Fri 9.30am-12.30pm. We aim to offer a welcoming space for anyone, to chat, play a game, get support or advice, or help to find out who they need to speak to. You are welcome to come and work or charge devices here. See below for our weekly programme.
We have fitted a small kitchen area with a fridge, freezer, and kettle and offer free food and hot drinks (subject to availability), free Wi-Fi, mobile and device charging. There are also computers for public internet access elsewhere in the Old School Centre.
We offer relevant signposting and information from staff, a warm space to work and access online support and basic general IT support for your own devices. The Old School Centre has toilets, including one accessible and access to parking (2 disabled spaces). The Warm Space is child friendly and has a selection of games, jigsaws, books and toys.
The SSB Hub is co-located, and they run a drop-in three times a week, with a huge amount of information and resources available to anyone interested. Also in the room is an offshoot collection & drop-off for the Totnes Share Shed, and Sustainable South Brent runs a series of sustainability events in The Hub. Click HERE for more details.
You can find us on the registers of UK warm spaces which are open either for winter or all year at Warm Welcome
