2,200 - that's the number of people we welcome to GL11 Community Hub every month. Some of them might be coming for a craft workshop, or to use the food bank, or to have a cuppa in the cafe... Whatever the reason, it's our aim that all of them will find us a safe, welcoming, and inclusive space.

Last year, 16% of households in the UK experienced food insecurity, a total of 14.1 million people, including 3.8 million children. It may be that they ran out of food and couldn't afford to buy more, or that they reduced the amount they were eating or went hungry due to a lack of money.
