FORGE HUBS & SKILLS
A place to belong.
Room to become.
Our vision for welcoming local spaces where people can meet, learn, make and explore work or enterprise together.
THE FUTURE HUB
Come with an interest.
Leave with a possibility.
Future hub concept. No premises have been secured.
A creative community space connected to a personalised pathway.
Forge Hubs could bring equipment, practical mentors and peer support into accessible town-centre spaces — giving people a place to explore ideas they cannot easily pursue alone.
The first pilot would use existing local provision. A permanent hub would follow only when demand, delivery capacity and a sustainable budget support it.
LEARN BY DOING
Skills with something to show.
Making & design
Explore product design, repair and, as resources allow, supervised 3D printing and prototyping.
Enterprise workshop
Understand costs, pricing, customers and online selling. Test demand before committing money to an idea.
Mentoring & connections
Review progress, practise explaining strengths and meet people who can support the next step.
A PHASED APPROACH
Build the community.
Then build the hub.
- 01 / FIRST TEST
Partner spaces
Use borrowed rooms, existing equipment and agreed local provision.
- 02 / DEVELOP
Regular sessions
Use participant feedback and attendance evidence to shape a repeatable offer.
- 03 / FUTURE AMBITION
A dedicated Forge Hub
Consider town-centre premises once costs, access and ongoing income are viable.
Potential routes include further learning, suitable employment, self-employment and continuing community contribution.
