Hubb Health and Wellbeing Projects

Aim

Our project will allow us to deliver a range of services for the local community around community, sports, health & wellbeing.

The Hubb is a grassroots community initiative based in Sheffield, England. The Hubb was founded upon the intention to become a central safe space for the community, allowing individuals of all ages and backgrounds to frequent, and feel a sense of warmth and belonging, complemented with mental, physical and spiritual growth.

We formed in late 2018 by coming together as a group of individuals within the community keen to deliver various community and sport projects. We are currently working on various projects and initiatives (For Men, Women, Children) which we will detail below:

Socials Project

Before the pandemic we were doing various socials and now we are wanting to arrange regular socials as we emerge out of the pandemic. We know that for the last 2 years people have missed social interaction with others and wanting this within our community. We would use the money to help with costs such as external speakers, venue hire and refreshments.

Project Rimaya (Archery Project)

We are currently involved within a national project which is affiliated with Archery GB to engage more of the BAME community within the sport. We currently have a membership of 35 people and we want to double this by the end of the year. We would use some of the money raised to buy/maintain equipment, train local coaches and to look at bigger venues as we have outgrown our current archery range. Please refer to the video for a snapshot of our very successful archery taster day last July!

BJJ/Wrestling Project

We have conducted some tasters and received a lot of interest in children/young people wanting to take to these martial arts. We are located in one of the most deprived areas of Sheffield where the drug and crime rate is very high and we would like to to be able to provide the children and young people of other ways of channeling their energies positively. We would use some of the money raised to buy equipment such as mats, GIs (uniforms) and to pay for coaches and venue hire. From this we hope to form our own club and enter local and national competitions.

Horse Riding Project

We conducted a couple of tasters and again received a lot of interest but due to high cost associated with this sport we are unable to offer this on a regular basis. We would like to use the money raised to offer subsidised horse riding lessons to those who wouldn't normally be able to afford such extra curricular activities.

Wellbeing Project

Before the pandemic we were delivering mental health workshops and had a great interest from the community. We understand that this project is going to be vital as we come out of the pandemic. We will use the money to get external speakers, pay for venue hire/activities and refreshments/food.

Through these projects our aim is to start building communities again through having a healthy mind and body.
