Does Aylesham need a social hub?
This is something we have been asked a few times and the best way to answer it is with another question: are there any facilities, services, groups or clubs you wish we had in Aylesham?

In response to this, we’re exploring […]

Hub survey: suggestions so far
Around 300 people have already completed the Aylesham Hub survey. Are you one of them? If not, there’s still time. What would you like the Hub to offer? What facilities would you use? This project isn’t about duplicating the services that already serve our community well so is there anything you wouldn’t want to see […]
Give your views on a new hub
We’re seeking your views on a new community hub; a social centre for the residents of Aylesham, Snowdown and the surrounding villages. At this stage, we’re gathering ideas on the facilities you would like to see in the area. It’s crucial the hub reflects the needs of local people so your views, suggestions and ideas are […]
Repair Cafe

There are some things we might attempt to fix, such as torn clothing, but most of us probably wouldn’t attempt repairs on electrical goods. This article in a national newspaper highlights a Repair Cafe in Reading. It’s part of a national […]
