This film is a record of the opening of the Northfleet Central Community Hub in October 2017. The Hub is a Northfleet Big Local initiative which has saved a local resource for the community. In the film, local residents, Big Local partners and delivery agencies talk about how the Hub came about and their hopes for it as a community venue. The aim has been both to protect existing local activities and services such as the Foodbank and groups for young people, whilst developing new inititiatives.

This film records the changes being brought about – for those using services, volunteers and the wider community – by three projects supported by Nothfleet Big Local: CAS Training Solutions, Hive Hope Foodbank and the No Walls Garden.
