Happy Birthday ECO HUB!
Can you believe that we are one! Yes the ECO HUB has successfully navigated a whole year’s worth of activities since opening on 1st September 2022, and is busier than ever. It all started with Tuesday Tidy Ups, then Wellingborough Swap Shop and now hosts loads of activities (see calendar below).
We would like to thank Glamis Hall for all that they have done for us, North Northamptonshire Council, Greatwell Homes, Co-op and Wellingborough Town Council for all their support; and everyone who comes to join in and support us who makes everything worthwhile.
