Our supporters are amazing..
Looks who’s just popped in…you may remember that earlier this year, Hub supporter Andy Jones undertook a cycle ride and raised over £1600 for the Hub.
What a wonderful community…
Today the community came together for the same goal. Led by Connie from Yeovil Town Community Sports Trust there was a great fundraiser at the Hub for three local charities - The Hub Yeovil, Yeovil Hospital Charity and Mind in Somerset as part of the fundraising activities for the Somerset 3 Peaks Tor to Town challenge being held on the 20th September.

Just 30% of autistic people are in employment. The Hub wants to play a small but important part in rectifying this shocking statistic! We are therefore proud and pleased to announce that we now have 4 trainees in paid part-time employment at the Hub.
Community Garden
The Hub continues to have a great partnership with Leonardo Helicopters. Our latest involvement was something completely different…
Giving our opinion…
Last week we had a workshop from some fantastic NHS professionals and representatives from Maldaba Ltd who wanted to trial their new software and literature re Annual Health Checks with a group of adults with learning disabilities.
When the customers are away, our trainees get to play!
This morning they've had free rein to create their own milkshakes to enjoy. From a classic strawberry milkshake to a decadent chocolate caramel milkshake
Last day :-(
Our trainees completed their last long shift at Glastonbury Festivals today, stewarding with Oxfam UK. So proud of them all for working so hard and being fantastic ambassadors for the Hub! What a wonderful experience and a great achievement for them all!
A well deserved day off
After two days of hard work, today our trainees got to explore and enjoy Glastonbury Festival and we think the photos show what a fantastic time they are all having!!
Day 2 Volunteering
Another long shift at Glastonbury for our guys today but they are enjoying it!! At least it wasn't quite as hot today. Forgot to mention yesterday that the fantastic inclusive Glastonbury Festival supplied jackets, hats, boots, food vouchers and lots more all for free for our team.
GLASTONBURY FESTIVAL!
A group of 8 of our trainees and 2 Work Coaches were up very early this morning as they set off for GLASTONBURY FESTIVAL!! Glastonbury Festival have very generously offered the Hub some work experience opportunities.
Latest woodwork project…
Hope those who celebrated Father’s Day yesterday had a lovely day. One of our woodwork groups have spent the last few weeks designing and making their own gifts to give . I am sure they were greatly received.
