Ladybarn Community Hub
"Whatever your age or background, we want all the people and the whole community to thrive."
Who We Help, Why We Help & the Difference It Makes
Ladybarn Community Hub is a community centre in the heart of Ladybarn, and we run a variety of groups such as coffee mornings, choirs and over 50s lunch clubs as well as hosting other organisations like youth groups and churches and offering venue hire for the local community.
Whatever your age or background, we want all the people and the whole community to thrive. We want to be part of community transformation – whether that’s building the community spirit, developing a sustainable environment or helping meet the needs of our community. Whatever it is, we want to be at the heart of positive, lasting change in Ladybarn.
Ladybarn Community Hub (formerly Ladybarn Community Centre) has been going for over 40 years serving the community and transforming the lives of people who enter the hub to get involved in activities and build positive relationships.
We hope people enjoy The Hub as a welcoming place full of life and activity bringing good to the whole community
