5 November 2020: Lockdown all over again!

We just got the shelving out of the communal area and brought in new sofas ready for the community again and then comes lockdown all over again. So there's nothing for it but back to distributing goods, foods and medicines for the local community...

... then COVID paid our staff and volunteers a visit in person with Melissa the assistant manager and Jason one of volunteers and most of the rest of us including Sarah the manager. As frontline workers we're more likely to get the virus and we did. So we shut the hub for nearly two weeks and all sat at home isolating.

Christmas is coming

We opened again on 23 November. Christmas is coming - better get ready.

Coronavirus lockdown ...
Since the 23 March, just two weeks after its grand opening, the community hub has been repurposed as a distribution centre for food and materials. Manager Sarah Harries and her team of dedicated volunteers are busy distributing food and other essentials to the people of Withernsea who are self-isolating.
