WILSTOCKHUB 

Our aim is to build a community hub in a new housing development of 5000 residents with no facilities. We are a community-led project. Building a hub will deliver multiple services to meet the needs of the community. We want to empower people, give opportunity, improve physical & mental health & wellbeing, bring social inclusion to combat loneliness promoting a better way of life for all.
