Hub 2

A classroom, a meeting room and the charity shop

Hub 2 is the busy one. It's where nearly all our weekly clubs run, where groups meet, and where the charity shop quietly pays for a good deal of everything else we do.

  • £2 a session
  • Everyone welcome
  • No appointment for the shop

Room hire

Hire a room — £2 a session

If your group needs somewhere to meet, you can have a room for £2 a session.

That’s not a typo. We’d rather the rooms were used than sitting empty, and £2 covers what it costs us to have the lights on.

Community groups, support groups, committees, classes, one-offs — all fine. Ring and ask.

There are two rooms here: a classroom and a meeting room. And yes, there’s a brew — no café, but pop in and we’ll put the kettle on.

Still to confirm: how many each room holds. Ring and we’ll tell you what we can fit in.

The shop

Everything in it was given

Everything in the shop was donated, and everything it makes goes back into the charity — resources for schools, keeping the hubs open, and the counselling we provide free.

Come and have a look. Bring things you no longer need. Both help.

Other ways to help

Where it goes

What your £2 does

Rent and utilities on the shops come out of a separate account from the money raised at our other two hubs — so a room booking here keeps the doors open, and a donation elsewhere buys buddy benches and first aid supplies.

Both matter. They just do different jobs.
