One of the first of its kind, CHUB has been copied by others and used as an example of good practice by the Governments Coalfield Task Force. It has an excellent reputation for professional and efficient service delivery but in a warm and welcoming non-intimidating environment created by the staff and management team. Its greatest strength lies in its ability to communicate with the local community and as such is user-led. The staff/management team are constantly mindful that current and future funding, and therefore the very future of the organisation, relies totally on their ability to meet targets and fill in forms. This is regardless of the testimonies of the hundreds of people who have benefited from the service over the years and the unquantifiable increase in self-esteem and quality of life that ensues. But CHUB knows what it must do to survive in the future; it will strive to become a social enterprise, generating income from business activities that will provide the means to offer its resource centre services to the community. To do this, CHUB needs purpose-built premises and these are within our grasp. We just need a little more support to help us achieve our goal. CHUB IS A SUCCESS STORY. It provides the tools with which to re-build lives – job opportunities, training and education courses, help, advice, information and encouragement. What’s more, it is on the doorstep, in the heart of the community, accessible, friendly, welcoming and approachable. We trust you will enjoy your association with CHUB and proud of its achievements. We trust, also, that you will promote CHUB’s work at every opportunity and report back any suggestions and ideas, pleasant or otherwise!
