The project is run by arts organisation Back to Ours and operates as a free community “warm space” five days a week. Regular attendees say the hub helps combat loneliness and low mood, providing friendship, guidance and a sense of belonging.

The space is located in the centre of Bransholme, and it offers activities including quizzes, jigsaws, arts and crafts, and informal social gatherings for all ages. Volunteers, including local students, help run sessions. Co-ordinator Ellie Irwin described the funding extension as “almost unheard of,” bringing total support to nine years.
