Launched in 2022, The Hobby Hub promotes traditional hobbies that range from painting and scale modelling, to sculpting and wargames, textile work and state-of-the-art 3D printing.
Having a hobby can be beneficial for your mental health in several ways. First, engaging in a hobby that you enjoy can provide a sense of enjoyment and fulfillment, which can improve your overall mood and reduce stress. Hobbies can also serve as a distraction from daily worries and help you relax and unwind, which can help reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression.
In addition, hobbies can provide a sense of accomplishment and mastery, which can boost self-esteem and confidence. They can also provide a sense of purpose and meaning, which can give your life direction and help you feel more fulfilled.
Furthermore, hobbies can provide social benefits by giving you the opportunity to connect with others who share similar interests. This can help you develop new friendships and support networks, which can provide a sense of belonging and social support.
Overall, having a hobby can be a valuable addition to your mental health routine and can help you lead a happier and more fulfilling life.
Traditionally hobbies are practised in isolation, often the stereotypical label of ‘Men in Sheds’ or ‘Ladies in their craft rooms.’ The hobby hub plans to smash through these stereotypes by offering a space for all, no matter difference, to come together to collaborate, create and be part of a community of like-minded individuals. We are also here to help those who are yet to find ‘Their Hobby’ and discover the endless possibilities and benefits that hobbies have to offer.
We want to expand what we offer to the community, run additional and more varied sessions, enable more people to attend and get the benefit of the hobbies and crafts that happen here. To enable more people to just come and sit if they want to enjoy some company and play some boardgames. Money will be spent on improving and extending the facilities we have in various ways from electrical to storage.
