On 12 November 2025, Hale Community Hub was delighted to welcome the High Sheriff of Surrey and his consort, Suzanne. Their visit captured the spirit of our Hub - a hive of activity where seniors enjoyed games of rummy, neighbours shared lunch, and preparations were underway for craft sessions.

The High Sheriff toured our community larder and fridge, stocked thanks to Fareshare, and heard about the adjoining youth centre, which offers weekly sessions, holiday trips, and summer clubs for young people. Trustees and staff explained how the Hub thrives without state funding, relying instead on local supporters, grants, and volunteers.

His words of appreciation affirmed the Hub’s role in fostering belonging, resilience, and joy across generations.  You can read the High Sheriff’s reflections on his visit here.

This Trustees Week, we’re shining a light on the dedicated individuals who quietly shape the future of our charity - our trustees.

We are proud to be an independent charity, guided and governed by a team of voluntary trustees who generously give their time, energy, and expertise. They’re not just behind the scenes - they’re at the heart of every decision we make, ensuring our work reflects the needs and priorities of our local community.

From overseeing strategy to safeguarding our values, our trustees help us stay focused, transparent, and resilient. Their leadership enables us to run meaningful projects, respond to emerging needs, and build a welcoming space for all.

💡 Did you know?
Our funding comes from room hire, donations, and grants - many of which our trustees help us apply for. It’s a constant effort to keep our programmes thriving, and their commitment makes it possible.

If you spot one of our trustees at the centre, please say hello! They’d love to hear your ideas, answer your questions, and share more about the work they do.

To our trustees: thank you. Your service is a gift to our community, and we’re deeply grateful.

What a brilliant evening we had on Friday 3rd October at the Six Bells in Farnham!

With the Mayor of Farnham leading the charge, the pub was packed to the rafters for a lively quiz and karaoke fundraiser in support of Hale Community Centre. From brain-teasing trivia to belting out ballads, the atmosphere was buzzing and together we raised an incredible £500 for this fantastic local cause.

Huge thanks to everyone who came along, joined in, and made the night so memorable. Whether you were a quiz whiz, a karaoke star, or just there to cheer from the sidelines, your support made all the difference. Here's to community, laughter, and doing good - one song at a time!
