The Hub @ Toothill CIC (Community Interest Company, limited by guarantee, non-profit) was founded in 2018 to transform the former Village Tavern into a vibrant community hub at the heart of local life. Supported by the Big Lottery’s Big Local programme, the project has been designed by the community, for the community. The Hub will host inclusive family events, offer adaptable spaces for hire, create learning opportunities (including apprenticeships), and deliver tailored support services with an emphasis on co-design and co-production. By retaining the historic Toot and Whistle bar, it will also be a welcoming place for connection, wellbeing, and neighbourhood pride. As we prepare to open, we’re inviting residents, tradespeople, and businesses to get involved. Together, we can bring this exciting project to life and ensure it becomes a lasting legacy for Toothill and beyond.
