To provide a community hub in the centre of Blyth to enable every resident to have access to information and support. This will enable us to promote what’s available in the local area, including community and voluntary groups and support services. It will enable newly established groups to have a place to promote there services and assist in their development. It will enable local services to use the hub to offer advice and support to local residents.
