Keynsham Community Hub
Full Description of Organisation
Keynsham Community Hub is a volunteer-run charity based in a small community centre in Queens Road, Keynsham.
We promote social cohesion by bringing together people of all ages and backgrounds to share in a range of programmes aimed at improving our community, and building trust through sharing activities.
We aim to create a sense of pride in our community, and a feeling of belonging. We provide a safe and neutral space for various groups to socialise, learn and develop new skills, and make Keynsham a better place to live. Organisations and individuals that work with us find us supportive, trustworthy, and willing to partner with them to deliver our shared objectives.
We depend on a committed and enthusiastic group of volunteers who manage the Queens Road centre, and run many of the programmes. A 2019 survey revealed that an incredible 6,221 hours per year were given by volunteers - which would have cost £138,758 to deliver the same services using paid staff! As well as helping run our programmes, volunteers also work hard behind the scenes to keep the centre running - from cleaning and maintenance to administration.
We are always looking for more volunteers! We are a friendly group who want to make Keynsham a great place in which to live.
