More information

The Hub, like all their facilities, is accessible, has toilets and parking nearby. There are some free parking spaces for up to 30 minutes on Hampton Court road, and a pay and display carpark behind the shopping parade, off Lutton Grove. There is a bus stop for bus route 3 on Hampton Court just outside the shopping parade. See photos below.

You will not have to provide any equipment unless stated for a specific activity or course.

CKH also have a small but lovely Wellbeing Garden where you can just visit, or volunteer to learn or use your garden skills. More is on this page.

Use of computers and phones, plus the employment, health and wellbeing training and support are free.
