Had a chat and a cup of tea today with Odilia from Hub Stourbridge. It was originally to do with me doing a bit of social media with them but the discussion expanded somewhat. The Hub have no premises as yet, but are searching hard for that elusive place that provides what the community needs. Tricky. Central position in the town? Parking? Cafe? Computers? Meeting rooms? Exhibition space? Creative spaces? Performance space? It’s probably one of those impossible tasks to find the perfect place to tick all the boxes.
However, if Odilia is anything to go by, they have enormous energy, motivation and a desire to provide a centre, a hub, for people who need one, creative or otherwise. It’s very exciting to think I could be in on the start of something so innovative. To be able to affect the way that people work and relax, possibly in the same place. I felt I would be among like minded people, who have an incentive to make this work, whether that is for professional or personal desire, or a general buzz of altruism… although I don’t know if that really exists…
Anyway, word of mouth and word of keyboard is how these thing really get off the ground, so please click on the links below, wander about, fill in a survey, and watch the story unfold over the following weeks and months!
