The Inverclyde CommUnity Hub is a planned endeavour aimed at positioning as a vital part of Inverclyde life where people come together to connect, create, and thrive. We are seeking experienced Childcare Professionals to volunteer with the Hub and help deliver safe, engaging, and supportive childcare activities for local families and children.

The Inverclyde CommUnity Hub is a developing visionary social enterprise initiative based in Greenock, Inverclyde, aimed at bringing together services, activities, and opportunities for the entire community. The project will transform several units into a collaborative space for community groups, charities, and social enterprises, fostering unity, support, wellbeing, and innovation. Designed as a vibrant one-stop-shop, the hub will provide centralised access to community, charitable, and social enterprise services. It will serve as a space where organisations, charities, volunteers, and the public can connect, collaborate, and engage in meaningful projects.

Our mission is to unite individuals and groups in the pursuit of a better society. By coordinating community projects, offering volunteering opportunities, and hosting inclusive spaces, we aim to create a collaborative environment where everyone can contribute to positive change and foster hope for a brighter future. Anchored by innovative sensory and interactive AI technologies, the hub will offer essential resources and emotional support in a welcoming and professional environment. Partners of the Hub will play a vital role in strengthening Inverclyde’s social fabric.
