Factory Quarter Community Hub
Thank you for the experience
Our operation in the Factory Quarter Community Hub has now ended. It has been a fantastic experience.
What should have been a 6 weeks trial turned into a 3 months pop-up full of life. The Hub quickly became a place to hang for a lot of members of the community fighting loneliness and building stronger local ties, an organising catalyst for people to come forward and organise events for their neighbours, a place for young people to play, and for people to be without labels or expectations.
It’s been a privilege, an honour and a real labor of love. We feel very grateful for all the connections, the experience and the warmth we’ve benefited from.
Thank you for welcoming us with open arms and thank you to all our partners.
