02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
Helensburgh Community Hall is a community owned building available for use by community groups and members, we have office space which we rent to other third sector organisations, and a community bookshop. The Hub is a base for community organisations delivering vital services, including Helensburgh and Lomond Foodbank and Argyll and Bute Citizens' Advice. and organises its own activities aimed at reducing isolation and supporting health through everyday activity, from the Menopause Café to free yoga and gentle movement sessions. The Book Nook and Helensburgh Book Festival are the Hub's biggest profile-raisers, and Book Nook sales fund the Hub's local partnership with the Dolly Parton Imagination Library.
