ECO HUB opened on 1st September 2022, has lots’ of activities for everyone and is busier than ever. It all started with Tuesday Tidy Ups, then Wellingborough Swap Shop and now hosts activities including sewing, sharing food and kids groups (see calendar below).
ECO HUB is now based at Swansgate Centre, in the old Argos unit, for the next 12 weeks, maybe the next 12 months. We have taken on the space with The Artist Window, a charity supporting local creative arts for the benefit of local communities, to benefit our local community. We want local creative people of all ages amd everyone to get involved!
Until recently we were based at Swanspool Pavilion, Swanspool Parade, Wellingborough NN8 2BZ. We were there on a semi permanent basis, until work started to refurbish the Pavilion, and until September 2025 where we were at Glamis Hall until refurbishments were need there too.
We would like to thank Glamis Hall for all that they have done for us, North Northamptonshire Council, Greatwell Homes, Co-op, Co-op Wincanton, Sainsbury’s and Wellingborough Town Council for all their support; and everyone who comes to join in and support us who makes everything worthwhile.
