Plenty On Offer Under One Roof

The new refurbished Fairwater Hub will be opening next week. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

The former Fairwater Library on Doyle Avenue has been extended and upgraded and will now offer a range of services including, library provision with a quiet area and space for children’s events, housing and benefit advice, free internet and WiFi access and free phones to contact council and other services. Into Work Advice will also be available as well as information and events provided by Communities First. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

The facility also boasts a new IT suite, private interview rooms and a meeting room. Trained staff will be on hand to help people access the services on offer while partner organisations will visit the hub to provide specialist help and advice. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

The hub will open its doors on Monday, May 16 at 9am. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

Cabinet Member for Community Development, Co-operatives and Social Enterprise, Cllr Peter Bradbury, said: “Our hubs are bringing more and better services into areas of the city where there is the most need for this approach. We’re making it easier for people to use our services and working more closely with our partners to ensure we are delivering services people want in a joined up and efficient way. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

“It’s great to see the new hub in Fairwater – the facility is looking great. We’re encouraging everyone in the community to come along and see what’s on offer there, all under one roof.” ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​
