THE WELLINGTON Community Hub has opened with a soft launch on Tuesday, July 29.

The hub, which is managed by Kelly Enfield, now operates from Tuesday to Thursday on a weekly basis, offering a range of public health support, activities for young people, and police drop-ins among others.

Kelly said: “This week has been great. We’ve had a few people in but we’re not yet at full capacity.

“You’re better starting off small and doing something well rather than going in all guns blazing. We also want to get some community feedback.

“This is really about local people telling us what they want and we hope this will fill those gaps.”

The Community Hub will officially open, to full capacity, on Tuesday, September 30.
