The Community Hub page on our website isn’t going anywhere – it’s still your noticeboard. Charities, schools and community groups: keep sending your opportunities, appeals and events over to us and we’ll keep them live there for everyone to browse.
The new Community Hub WhatsApp group sits alongside it as a more direct, real-time channel. It’s the place for the things that move quickly – a volunteer appeal that needs answers this week, a donation offer that’s only good for a few days, an event looking for last-minute support.
Who it’s for?
- A charity or community organisation – post what you need, share appeals and events, and reach the people around the corner who genuinely want to help. Got a bigger appeal? Send it to us and we’ll broadcast it.
- A business or worker – find ways to get stuck in. Offer time, skills, space, stock, or just show up. Meet the neighbours doing brilliant things on your doorstep.
- A school, college or residents’ group – connect with the local business community and be part of what’s happening.
