As part of our commitment to support our communities, we recently gave vouchers to help the EX5-Alive Community Hub in Cranbrook develop its quiet room.
We have previously supported we a healthy food initiative and by funding holiday hunger activities for Cranbrook.
Aynsley Jones, Cranbrook Community Hub Manager, said: “LiveWest’s contribution helped to furnish our quiet room. This room has had an impact on both the community and teaching staff alike where this safe space can bring a little calm to some challenging journeys.
“It is being put to good use within the community and is well used. Mental health and wellbeing are part of everything that we do because community is at the heart of our belonging.”
As the hub has expanded its facilities with a new quiet room, we donated equipment to ensure the room was a safe and comfortable place for the community.
The hub’s support ranges from health and wellbeing information, advice, local services, parent groups, food support and much more.
Starting its journey only a year ago, we are proud to see its growing success in the area.
Aynsley added: “EX5-Alive has had an amazing first year and we would like to thank all the community - individuals, groups, organisations, and partners for their support.
“This year we have given over 320 food supplies to households, reduced debt in over 50 households, and included more than 250 individuals or groups in reconnecting with their community.”
