Do you have a passion for our local community and a desire to share your skills with us? Do you live within our area of benefit? Would you like to help us to sustain this valuable community resource? Since taking ownership of "The Heart" , the previous Victoria primary school, in 2022, we have made leaps and bounds in transforming our vision for the building into reality. We are now recruiting for some new trustees to help our small dedicated team of staff and volunteers continue this work. Our vision is to turn The Heart into a sustainable place for inspiration, exploration and enjoyment where the aim is to enrich lives through active, inter-generational learning and discovery. https://heartofnewhaven.co.uk/
