Congratulations to the Hackleton Community Hub on such a fantastic scheme! I recently visited and opened the Hub’s new venue, the Carey Baptist Church, meeting with local volunteers and residents. The Hub had struggled to find accommodation for a community hub, and I was pleased to see that the Parish Council worked with the Church to help transform the venue into a coffee shop, book share and a communal working area. 

Monday – Wednesday, 10am-2.40pm provides a chance for local residents to catch up with each other over coffee and cakes, and browse a wide selection of books in their bookshare room. The upstairs space will ultimately be turned into a communal workspace where local residents can hire a desk for a few hours. 

I was really delighted to open the Community Hub and see what’s on offer. If you are local to the area then please stop by and support this fantastic resource.
