Community Hub

EDDC currently opens eight of their community centres, and one church hall, as part of the nationwide response to the cost of living crisis. Following on from the success of the EDDC Warm Hubs during the winter of 2022/23, tenants requested that centres were kept open as a space to socialise, make new friends, receive information on council services and attend learning workshops.

In the centres EDDC also provides free home cooked lunches, hot drinks, snacks, daily papers, magazines and games. You will also be able to pick up information and attend weekly activities and workshops. All ideas are encouraged and help to make each space even more inviting and welcoming.

Community volunteers, wanting to support their local warm hub, are welcome to come along and join the team of existing trained volunteers.  Come and be part of shaping your centre into something your community will want to come to.

Please see timetable below. EDDC can organise transport for you if you need. Please contact project officer Lucinda Cliff by telephone on 07816 533803 / 01395 517453 or email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
