🚨 IMPORTANT COMMUNITY NOTICE 🚨

We have been made aware that Children with Voices are sharing our school uniform distribution video - without consent.

To be absolutely clear: THE EVENT HAS ALREADY TAKEN PLACE 👕❤️

Last week, our incredible team distributed 89 FREE SCHOOL UNIFORM BUNDLES across just TWO DAYS! 🙌🏼🔥

Please DO NOT attend The CoHub this Thursday or Friday for school uniform collections or other Hub services.

🚧 WE ARE CLOSED for essential building repair works.

Please help us avoid people making a wasted journey and share this post so the correct information reaches our community. 🙏🏼❤️

We’ll see you back at The CoHub in September! 🍂🏡❤️

Thank you, CoHub community! ✊🏼💕

🍂🔥 FRIYAYYYYY - WE MADE IT! 😩🙌🏼❤️

WHAT. A. WEEK. 😂

Honestly, this week has been catalogue of UNPRECEDENTED events 😭 alongside a Hub that has somehow continued doing what it does best - keeping the community moving, supported, connected and fed! 😂✊🏼❤️

And now we’re ending the week with the BIG ONE…

🎉🍂 THE NEW AUTUMN COHUB TIMETABLE IS HERE! 🍂🎉

This isn’t just a timetable. It’s been CoDesigned with residents, for residents - shaped around what our community actually wants, needs and asks for. ❤️

We’ve got our firm favourites that have become part of the CoHub DNA… 🥰

PLUS… look at these NEW additions! 👀🔥

♻️ TrueBlueReworks Repair Café
🏺 Ceramics
🌿 Wellbeing Workshops
🦴 Osteoarthritis Support Group London Fields
🎶 Sunflower Community Choir
🚗 Closet Car B***y
💈 FREE Haircuts for Men

From long-standing favourites to brand-new partnerships, there’s SO MUCH coming to the CoHub this autumn. 🥹❤️

🛠️ NOW FOR THE IMPORTANT BIT…

The CoHub is officially CLOSED UNTIL MONDAY 7 SEPTEMBER while the building undergoes some much-needed structural works.

And our amazing Community Shapers have been volunteering ALL SUMMER so they really do deserve this break too! 😭😂❤️

🍂 AUTUMN TIMETABLE ROLLOUT:
We start back 7 September, with activities returning in a staggered rollout week by week, building up until the FULL AUTUMN TIMETABLE is running by 29 September! 🎉🙌🏼

So basically… September is going to be BUSY. 😂🔥

For now…

WE’RE CLOSED. 😂✌🏼
THE SHAPERS ARE OFF. 🌴
THE COHUB IS RESTING. 💤

🚲🍋‍🟩 TODAY’S LIME LAND UPDATE:

Well… that went fu***ng brilliantly. 😂

The plan was 55km.

The reality was 5 laps of Vicky Park, one rogue decision, one car sending me into the kerb and me becoming one giant graze from head to toe. 🙄😂

A&E ✔️
Head scan ✔️
Chest X-ray ✔️
Still alive ✔️
Dignity ❌

Apparently the Lime landed directly on my chest, just to really round off the experience. 🍋‍🟩💀

BUT… I’m all clear, just need a few recovery days - and apparently I’m allowed back on the bike next week. 😂

Three weeks tomorrow until London to Brighton. 🚲🔥

So we regroup. We recover. Then we fu***ng RIDE.🚲🍋‍🟩🤘🏼

And honestly… after today, I feel like my injuries have earned you making a donation. 😂😭

If you’ve been meaning to donate, THIS IS YOUR SIGN. 👀❤️

Every £10 helps keep The CoHub going - and apparently I’m now prepared to sacrifice actual skin for the cause. 😂✊🏼

🥫👑 FRIYAY FOOD PANTRY CREW APPRECIATION POST! 👑🥫

Big Boss Fran’s away… but the team still PLAY! 😂✊🏼

Today we’re celebrating the absolute bloody legends who make Pantry Fridays happen! ❤️

👑 Maggie - one of our hub queens! Back after being poorly and given the royal welcome 😂 Late 70s, sits on our Board, joins activities AND runs our legendary Signing-In Stations. Like a BOSS 🔥👑❤️

💛 Christiana - with us since we opened! Pantry volunteer, event helper, newly Level 2 Food Hygiene qualified AND regular digital learner. Always wiggling & giggling! 😂💻

🇸🇩 Elias - with KB 6+ years, since arriving from Sudan. Now a proud dad of two, safely housed, settled and volunteering at the Hub practically every day. Pantry, cleaning, Men’s Group… whatever needs doing, Elias is there. ❤️ 10/10 human.

🧡 Leane - running The Closet & Vinted while Zeys is on maternity leave AND jumping onto Pantry Fridays. Our young one with the big energy & old soul! 👏🏼👑

📋 Tracey - our Volunteer Office & Logistics Queen! Foodbank vouchers, CAB appointments, logistics… she knows where EVERYTHING is and ALWAYS time for residents. 🫶🏼👑

🍲 Sara H - a newer Pantry recruit, newly Level 2 Food Hygiene qualified, brilliant cook and bringing ALL the Auntie Energy every Friday! Maggie’s Deputy on Pantry Days 😂❤️

This week we’ve had SO many residents telling us how welcome they feel, how much they love the Hub and how quickly we’ve helped them. 🥹❤️

That’s the magic. ✨

But none of it happens without our Volunteer Shapers.

They give their time, their skills, their energy and their BIG hearts. ❤️

They ARE the beating heart of The CoHub. 🫶🏼

So THANK YOU, legends. 👑❤️

Now go rest up & eat something nice… you’ve all def earned it. 😂🥫❤️
