Since 2023, Volunteer Cornwall have been working with voluntary sector partners and public sector commissioners to develop the Community Hub Network – but just what is the Community Hub Network and why does it matter?

Community Hubs are places that provide support and resources for their communities. The Community Hubs Network relies on organisations working together to identify the best support available for people at a local level. A Community Hub can be a building or space, or a network of people who offer safe places for community members. Here, they can find help, advice, support, and join in activities. In towns and villages, there are various types of hubs that each play a unique and vital role in their community.

Why are we doing this?

The funding for the Community Hubs Networkcomes from NHS Cornwall & IoS and they are funding the Community Hubs because they recognise that the best way to help people is to stop them getting sick in the first place. Keeping people at home in the community, living active, independent and healthy lives is much better for everyone (and much less expensive) than waiting until people become sick or need care and then intervening.

The Community Hubs offer a chance to get help and support with your mental and physical health and wellbeing including tackling loneliness and isolation by offering activities you can get involved in with others.

The Community Hubs are complimented by the Community Gateway service which is open 7 days a week from 8am – 8pm and can be reached on 01872 266383 or email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
