02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
We see a future where our communities thrive. where people belong and lead fulfilling lives. We believe that connections build communities and that strong communities are the best way to help people achieve their goals. The Hub is a safe, inclusive and welcoming space with high quality facilities, meaning local people feel comfortable coming to a place which feels familiar and non-threatening. The areas we serve in Southwest Edinburgh rank among some of the most deprived in Scotland, including Broomhouse, Parkhead, and Sighthill. We work with families affected by drug and alcohol misuse, young carers and young adult carers, marginalised BAME community members, new migrants and refugees, and isolated older people affected by dementia and other health conditions. We provide groups, classes, education and support to all ages and families. We listen without judgement and we empower people to build on their own strengths. We have been a anchor point for the community for over 35 years
