Hastings Library of Things and Make and Mend relocating to Heart Community Hub

The HEART Community Info Hub, located in the Town Hall, Queens Road, and is a place where people can talk to a friendly helper, in person, about some of the services and activities available in the town. It's a great resource, especially for people less comfortable around using the internet, and is a comfortable, accessible space which is easy to get to.

By co-locating with the Heart Community Hub, Hastings Library of Things and Make and Mend aim to enhance accessibility and collaboration within the community, creating new opportunities for "lending, sharing and mending".

"We are thrilled to be locating within the Heart Community Hub," said Christine, Founder and Chief Fixer of Make and Mend Bexhill and Beyond. The Heart Community Hub provides an ideal space for our "Fixing Fridays" drop ins and, after a short break we look forward to welcoming people again, from Friday 5th April with their fixing challenges.
