"'Stronger Together' People power on show during Neighbourhood House Week" - opinion piece in The Advocate, 16 May 2024

Community hubs open their doors, writes Simone Zell

Neighbourhood Houses are the north west and west coasts’ equivalent of Doctor Who’s TARDIS: They often look like modest buildings on the outside, but once you open the door and step inside these hives of activity contain more people, opportunities and personal rewards than you could ever have imagined.

This week (13-19 May) is national Neighbourhood House Week and a great time to drop by these community hubs to see the power of local people in action.
