🎉💛 FRIYAYYYYY HACKNEY!! 💛🎉

WHAT. A. WEEK! 😭😂🙌🏼

It’s been a full-on, fabulous week of wonderfulness at the CoHub, and we’ve ended it with full hearts, tired feet and some VERY special visitors! 🥰✨

📸❤️ Today the AMAZING documentary photographer Sarah Ainslie popped in with these beautiful photographs from our recent filming day, ahead of her WOMEN AT WORK exhibition this November! 🎬😍

And WOWWWW! 🥹❤️

She’s captured everything we love about our little hub. The people, the laughter, the friendships, the everyday chaos and all that wonderful community magic! 🌈🫶🏼

What an absolute HONOUR to be invited to take part! 🙏🏼 We’re SO excited to see the film, and these gorgeous photos will be proudly displayed at the CoHub next week! 📸✨

And because it’s Friday, we were BUSYYYY! 😂👇🏼

⚖️ CAB FULL HOUSE!
💃 Zumba FULL HOUSE!
🥫 Food Pantry FULL HOUSE!

🛒🛏️ Plus two delighted residents went home with a new shopping trolley and mattress topper! Practical kindness, real support and happy faces! ❤️

People. Place. Purpose. 💛

From tackling crisis to building connections, creating opportunities and making memories… this is community in action, and we wouldn’t swap it for the world! 🥹🌍

A HUGE thank you to Sarah, our wonderful team, volunteers, partners and every resident who makes this place what it is! 🙏🏼❤️

And THAT, Hackney, is another week of CoHub magic DONE! 💥

We’re officially KNACKERED! 😂☕🛋️

Have a beautiful weekend, you lovely lot! 🌻💛

We’ll be back next week with more love, laughter and organised chaos! 😭🤣🚀

What a LOVELY Tuesday at the CoHub! 🥹🍂💛

Today was all about health & wellbeing - bodies AND minds 🧠💪🏼✨

🏺 Pottery - slowing down, getting creative & getting those hands messy
☯️ T’ai Chi - movement, balance, breathing & a packed hall!
⚽️ Footie - fresh air, exercise, connection & a bit of healthy competition 😂
❤️ Zentangles with the kids - mindful drawing, creativity, calm little minds… with the usual sprinkling of chaos obviously 😂🎨

Because wellbeing isn’t just one thing. It’s moving your body, using your mind, learning something new, being creative, getting outside and — probably most importantly - connecting with other people. 💛

That’s community wellbeing. And THAT is what Tuesdays at the CoHub look like. 🥰🙌🏼
