Community Kettle are on a mission to challenge how communities join. Together. The Hub was officially opened by Hub Helpers Sandra Harvey and Lottie Healy who have become firm friends since they both started volunteering, living up to the Kettle’s ethos of all ages working together.
Founder Nicole Heard explained how the hub was very much a community effort. “From John’s incredible building skills to Clare’ legendary cucumber sandwiches and Team Kettle’s relaxed and friendly bingo. The Kettle family has grown.” She explained how as a team of volunteers they had laughed, cried, bled, cleaned, painted, cleaned some more and even hovered the fake grass (sorry Isaac).
For those of you who haven’t met team kettle; they are a small team of diverse people facing their own personal challenges including disability, medical retirement and other personal concerns. Together though they have brought the community of Cosham together to develop a disused ex doggy day care into a vibrant community space complete with chatter cafe, experience room and private meeting space.
