Councillor Rob Waltham, cabinet member for people said: “These new hubs across North Lincolnshire will make a great difference to local communities. They will offer residents a place to go to get support and advice, as well as take part in a whole range of activities. The hubs aren’t just targeting a specific age group there will be something for people of all ages; from the younger to older generation.

“The hubs are based in the communities to meet the community’s needs. They will offer everything from health and wellbeing advice to craft activities and signposting to other services. They are going to be a real asset to our local communities. This marks a significant investment in older peoples’ care from the council.”
