Warm Welcomes are free community spaces open to residents, bringing people together and supporting them.
Harvest Community Haven (HCH) is a black led community interest company that has been set up by the Harvest Chapel International in the Beeston area, serving and supporting the community; from global majority communities, to those who are currently homeless, to students from overseas and to families with children. They also have a weekly community café including a food bank run by the volunteers.
Watch a video about Warm Welcome spaces, which has been created as part of the funding by Rushcliffe Community Voluntary Service to incorporate more physical activity into existing and emerging Warm spaces, to further enhance what is already on offer.
The funding has meant the group have been able to get equipment like hula hoops for the children to become more active during the sessions. Plus being able to deliver dance and seated yoga workshops as part of their community café.
The video shows the positive impact the Harvest Community Centre (HCH) has had on the community. For many people HCH is a supportive and safe space for their families. It’s a truly welcoming environment for everyone and the video captures how much HCH means to everyone involved.
You can hear from people running the group and also directly from service users and how they are benefiting from it and why it is important to them.
One service user said: “It has changed mine and my kid’s life, coming here every Sunday.”
