About us
Who we are
We are a community hub that provides activities and services as well as space for community and voluntary groups, agencies and public sector organisations so that there is high quality local provision, particularly for those who are disadvantaged, vulnerable or who face difficulties accessing provision.
We develop activities and services that increase participation, by providing opportunities for self-development, volunteering and involvement in local decision-making, so that all residents living in the Foleshill ward of Coventry enjoy a high quality of life, are able to achieve their economic, social and educational goals, and are part of a strong, prosperous and caring local community.
