Our Community Hubs offer free, in-person support and advice for residents who may need help accessing services or finding cost-of-living support. Run jointly with our local partners, the hubs bring together a range of services under one roof – from benefits and money advice, employment and skills support, and digital help, to advice on housing or accessing council services.
There are currently two Community Hubs in Havering:
Rainham Library Community Hub
11am – 1pm, every Wednesday
Rainham Library, Celtic Farm Road, Rainham RM13 9GP
Harold Hill Library Community Hub
11.30am – 1pm, every Tuesday and Thursday
(Some services may run until 3:45pm)
Harold Hill Library, 19A Farnham Road, Harold Hill RM3 8ED
Food support at the hubs
In partnership with Tapestry and Your Local Pantry, both hubs host Community Food Pantries offering over £20 worth of food for just £6. The pantries provide affordable, good-quality food and support physical and mental wellbeing. Hubs also serve fresh meals and offer advice on healthy eating to help residents stay active and connected.
There’s no need to book – just drop in during the opening times and speak to one of our team or partners. Whether you need help filling in a form, want to learn more about available support, or simply need advice, the hubs are here to help.
