Meet the team
The people behind The Healing Hubs
Other than our wonderful team of Team Managers and Support Workers, everyone else is a volunteer. From the Founders, Patrons and Trustees, through to the wonderful volunteers who support directly in the services — either providing befriending telephone calls or supporting the face-to-face community groups.
How it began
Our founders
The Healing Hubs was founded by Sarah, Lynsie, Jackie, Glenn, Kathryn, and Jonah — six people united by a shared belief that community connection saves lives.
