About the Project Creator
Oswestry Community Action, otherwise known as Qube, is a community anchor organisation which aims to positively impact health and wellbeing and an improved quality of life for people in Shropshire and North East Powys.
Qube is a registered charity and company limited by guarantee. It has a board of six Trustees, 17 staff; working both full and part-time and approximately 60 volunteers. The ethos of Qube is access to services for all. Services have been developed over time in response to local need such as rural poverty and lack of opportunities; particularly for social isolation, education and poor public transport provision.
Qube is based in Oswestry with a community building including an art gallery and meeting/activity rooms. Established for more than 30 years Qube has in that time successfully delivered many projects and services for the community. Individuals and families attend because they are seeking support, have an interest in an activity, or they want to meet other people in a safe environment. The building attracts visitors to enjoy the art exhibitions but is also recognised as a community hub to support local people. Support ranges from art classes, social groups and the provision of hot meals.
