What are clients say about us

  • It’s a place where I can do something useful and it’s lovely to hear people laughing when they’re playing games. It’s not just a lovely place, but where people can get information, food if they need it and regular lunches. Lots of people come for the lunches. I really enjoy getting to know clients.

  • The Hub is place people can come to and have a warm space, have a chat and be involved in other activities. People with mental health problems don’t always want to go out; the Hub gives everyone a purpose. Find friends and have someone to talk to.

    PD from the Samaritans

  • It’s good for the community because it helps to alleviate possible isolation. I volunteer because I get as much out of volunteering as our clients get out of us serving them.

    FG

  • I think it’s a lovely place for people to get together and there’s always a warm welcome. A place to relax and make friends.

    SP

  • It means a lot coming here. Company, you see different people. Coming here saves me money and you’ve helped me by listening and sorting out my ideas and information.

    AS

  • It’s a good place. I didn’t know about it until Big Dave told me. A good place, you can have a cup of coffee, play cards and talk to people. I’ll take a taxi to get here if I must. I’ll always come here. You’ve helped me with the Food Bank, cups of latte and hot meals; I eat all of it!

    LH

  • The Hub’s helped me a lot to socialise with people and meeting new people. It’s a safe place to be.

    AT

  • A safe space for people. I come once in a blue moon, but it’s a safe space for people who need it. Just coming in today and talking is great because I had no one to turn to. It’s good to have people who listen. The hub welcomes everyone.

    CG

  • Silence, it’s my quiet place! I get to eat here; Hub Grub is 10 out of 10. I feel comfortable here, you helped me with interactions.

    KR

  • It gets me out of the house, nice company and cheers me up. Everyone is always included. I’m always happy here.

    VD

  • A great place to come for companionship and entertainment. I’m glad to come, it’s a pleasure and you meet new people. The helpers are very caring and make sure everyone is happy. This is the best thing that’s happened to us for a long time, and I wish I’d known about it sooner.

    IH

  • It means a lot. I spend a lot of time walking around so it’s nice to come in and have a cup of tea and meet new people. I was nervous when I first came in, I didn’t know if I’d be judged, but I was made to feel welcome. I feel comfortable now and have a chat. It’s helped me out massively as regards food which is a financial benefit for me; it relieves the stress.

    RM

  • It’s friendly, helpful and it’s a safe place to come. I feel relaxed when I come here, made to feel welcome. It’s important because you can mix and get to know new people and interact with activities. The Hub has helped me financially and supported my needs.

    MC

  • As I was eating, I was thinking I can’t take this meal for granted because the Hub gives a lot. It’s somewhere, if I haven’t made plans, that is always available for me. The staff are lovely, and I feel I can open up to them. It’s a space where I don’t need to compromise about who I am.
