☕💚 A Day at the Hub… 💚☕
We thought we’d share a little snapshot of a typical day at CoCreate and the real, first-hand impact that happens when trusted community spaces are available right on people’s doorstep. 🏡✨
👕 2 clothing support referrals
📝 3 IAG appointments
🥫 3 walk-in food poverty supports
📚 3 happy new bookworms
🆘 5 clothing crisis walk-ins
🎓 6 resident voices co-creating with the University of Belfast
💻 8 digitally supported
☕ 14 people stopping for a chat and a coffee
🍽️ 45 people enjoying a delicious 3-course community lunch
💥 That’s 89 recorded interactions in just one day!
Behind every number is a person, a story, a challenge being overcome, a confidence boost, a new connection, or simply someone finding a safe, welcoming place to belong. 💚
One conversation today really stayed with us. When we stopped to say hello and asked a resident how they were, they replied:
“Thank you for asking. No one else has asked me for days. I love this place, it feels like home.” 🥹💚
Sometimes the biggest impact isn’t the service itself - it’s being seen, heard and valued. ✨
And the best part? Every single one of these services is delivered by our incredible volunteers. 🙌 From sorting donations and serving lunch to offering practical support and a listening ear, they are the heartbeat of our Hub. 👏💚
Oh and our 🌹 Shania Twain rose is blooming away beautifully! We’re starting to see little peeks of colour shining through and, yes, we’ve all been talking to her and encouraging her along… 🤣🌹🎶 Man! I Feel Like a Flower! 💃😂
