What is the Community Hubs Network?

The Cambridgeshire Community Hubs Network is a collaborative initiative designed to support residents across East Cambridgeshire, Fenland and South Cambridgeshire.

Run within existing community spaces, local residents can visit a safe and friendly environment to enjoy free refreshments and social activities, obtain information and advice, and share the company of others. The network of Community Hubs is truly community-led; coordinated and hosted by trained volunteers within the heart of local communities.

Ready to meet friendly faces in welcoming places, with advice and guidance on hand for the challenges you may be facing? The locations and opening times for the network of Community Hubs operating across East Cambridgeshire, Fenland and South Cambridgeshire can be found below.
