About our Support Hubs
Our Support Hubs provide a space for people affected by the diagnosis of a serious illness to connect with others who understand, enjoy a calendar of activities, and seek advice and signposting to other support.
Trained volunteers and staff run a calendar of activities designed to help attendees cope with the diagnosis and improve emotional and physical wellbeing. They are on hand to provide signposting to services, support and information available
There is no need to book, so please just come along.
If you have any questions, please get in touch with our Compassionate Communities team on 01923 33 03 30 or get in touch via our enquiry form
“It feels nice to be out and amongst people who understand. There are people from Rennie Grove Peace at the Support Hub too, so I know I can chat with them, and they can put me in touch with other types of local support, if I need it.”
