We are currently piloting our Community Hubs concept to see if they meet the needs of the local area. They are a collaborative project between ourselves and and our partners.
Where are the Community Hubs
There is one pilot Community Hub currently:
- Workington Library, Vulcan's Lane, Workington, CA14 2ND
What we offer
The Community Hub is designed to make accessing a variety of services more convenient.
New services available at specific times include:
- Blue Badge applications
- school clothing grants
- free school meals applications
- health and wellbeing Support
- adult learning courses
- employment advice and support
You can see a weekly details of the sessions and drop-ins on the Cumberland Libraries Facebook page (you do not need a Facebook account to access).
Where Community Hubs are based in libraries, residents can still enjoy all the current services offered including:
- book browsing and borrowing
- access to computers
- free Wi-Fi
- Café West
Future plans and resident feedback
As the hub develops over the coming months, the range of services is expected to grow.
We’re keen to hear from you about how the hubs should evolve and what additional services
should be offered.
Your feedback will help shape the council’s long-term goal of rolling out similar hubs across
the entire Cumberland area.
