Today another group of our trainees started a hair and beauty course with the lovely tutors at Education Support Services at Langport.

Another of our trainees enjoying the invaluable work experience in the Transmissions department at Leonardo. This opportunity makes such a difference to our trainees confidence and self-esteem. We are grateful to be working with an international company that supports its local community so well.

Last week the brilliant Kevin and Richard of Somerset Film at The Engine Room helped 6 of our trainees produce a film about the Hub in just one day. Our trainees directed, worked the cameras, used the sound recording systems and clapperboard, chose what they wanted to film and who they wanted to interview.

When you are next in the café or Scrapstore have a look at our latest Trainee Art display. The colour will definitely add some brightness on these drab February days.

Today a group of our trainees got the opportunity to make a film in a day!! With the help of the brilliant Kevin and Richard from Somerset Film our guys got the opportunity to direct, use cameras, carry out interviews, use sound equipment and a clapperboard etc.

Only 4.8% of adults with learning disabilities are in employment. However many, many more want and are able to work when given the chance and right support.

At the Hub, we know what our trainees can achieve, and we are proud to say we have 4 of them on our payroll.

The Hub All Stars were back in action today with 4 fixtures in the Somerset FA Disability Counts League.

We have been working in partnership with Leonardo for the last three years. One of the most popular activities is work experience in the Transmissions Dept for 8 weeks on a Friday morning, working with the fantastic Rich.

Last year very kind Andy Jones cycled all the way to Rennesse in Holland to raise funds for the Hub. Andy cycled 248km and raised over £1,600!

Last year we were generously donated a quad bike. Our trainees have really enjoyed learning new skills refurbishing it. As you can see it is very near to completion!! Our trainees have done a fantastic job!

It may have been damp and misty today, but that didn't dampen our trainees' spirits!

Tom and Stephen from biggerhouse film were back at the Hub today to help a group of our trainees produce a short film. As you can see our trainees are loving getting involved in the production.

On the 27th April, Aaron March will be running the Manchester Marathon to raise funds for the Hub We are a charity close to his heart, and who better to explain why he's chosen to take on this challenge than Aaron himself:

Today we celebrated as the trainees received their very well deserved certificates!

Great team work today in the sun...

Guess what one of our groups have been doing this morning....

We closed our Cafe and Scrapstore this morning and welcomed Jen, Joe and Anna from Also Known As Dance Theatre Company for a dance workshop. We wanted to ensure that our trainees had plenty of space to have fun and try something different.

We love our Wednesday mornings at Prodigal Bikes , charity supporting charity, with another set of trainees learning a range of new skills over the course of the 8 week visit.

Some of the Hub's football team had the privilege of training at Huish Park again.

Every day is a good day at the Hub! We always ensure our trainees have fun and lots of variety whilst in a safe environment. We want each and everyone to become as independent as possible and to reach their full potential.
