Opened in February 2020 by Val Edgley and Liz Bickford-Smith, The Hub Community Caf in Newport, UK, is staffed entirely by volunteers and gives work experience and training to young people with learning disabilities and additional needs -- enabling them to be an active part of the community. So often people with disabilities spend a lot of time doing 'activities' with other people with disabilities. We wanted them to be able to do something fulfilling and useful and meet all sorts of different people, right here in Newport, said Val Edgley. The caf also offers various community activities such as toddlers' story time, a wellbeing caf, and a knit & natter group, with the goal of reducing loneliness.
