ASK HIVE WELCOMES YOU

Averham Staythorpe and Kelham Community Hub

Let's get started . . . . . .

What is a Community Hub, in our case we thought HIVE may be better. Hence ASK Hive.

You may be a local resident, a local business, a member of a community group or a charity, this provides

the insights that will ensure our community hub will support and help our local community to thrive.

A well planned community hub provides a opportunity for alternative approaches to delivering services,

underpinned by the principles of community involvement and partnership.

Community hubs facilitate community cohesion by providing a place where different local partners and

groups can come together to address local issues and support local people. A good community hub

therefore supports a community-focused approach.

A good community hub delivers a range of services that are shown to provide endless opportunities for

volunteering and contributing. This can be amounts of time, knowledge or expertise; small or significant.

A hub can deliver services focused on a specific theme for example; a family focused hub, a elderly focused

hub, an intergenerational focused hub, or a hub focused on alleviating loneliness and mental health issues.

A good community survey will also provide evidence for funders to support your project. it also highlights

that you have consulted as widely as possible with local people. To date we carried out a survey by leaflet

and via WhatsApp. This tested whether there was interest in the first place.

Community hubs usually operate out of buildings, from which multi-purpose, community-led services are

delivered. With partners providing access to public services. These co-location approaches are an efficient

and effective use of resources and local assets.

Community hubs should always provide services ‘for the community by the community’. Local people are

involved both in making decisions about how services are run, how buildings are managed, and also

supporting delivery through volunteering this model will encourage an enterprising and resilient community

organisation for the long term.

Typically, community hubs are run and managed by a dedicated community organisation, there are opportunities to involve our local authority who can often provide input and influence from the wider community.

Ideally community hubs are multi purpose, providing or hosting a range of activities and services used by

lots of different people.

HOW VOLUNTEERING IN AVERHAM, STAYTHORPE & KELHAM CAN MAKE A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE

It may be a monthly rubbish pick to keep the villages clean and tidy and also acts as a reminder to those who litter, not to.

Should we be successful in acquiring the school there will be loads and loads of opportunities to get looking how we would like and then maintaining that standard. Hope you'll spare a little time to get involved in our community and meet the neighbours.

FUNDRAISING

Should we be given an indication that the school project could go ahead we shall need involvement from all of our community. This may be through a number of means but we shall cross this bridge when we get an indication from Notts County Council Property Dept when they decide what they would like to happen to the school and grounds. If you would like to support our ambitions please contact us by filling in your detail and we shall get back to you.
