Situated in the heart of Basildon's Eastgate Shopping Centre, HAPPY Hub: Basildon is a bright, spacious space which supports mental health and wellness, and is open to everyone!
Not only do we run a multitude of activities devised to support mental health and wellness, but we also sell merchandise specific to supporting and developing mental health through our shop, a community lounge, a safe space to come sit and relax. You can even pick up a book from our lending library and have a read. Fancy a cuppa, not a problem our CommuniTEA Cafe offers light refreshments, sandwiches and delicious cakes. Need to work off the cake, we can help with that too in our physical activity zone, have a game of pool, play table tennis, or use our gym equipment. We also have a learning zone, so watch out for our workshops and short courses.
All profits from the cafe, the shop and the sports zone, help support the work we do, as well as the army of volunteers that we have making every thing function like clockwork. The Hub invites the community to use our facilities and to get involved. Click a link below to find out more.
As off January 2020 the Basildon Hub is funded by: Brentwood and Basildon Clinical Commissioning Group, Essex County Council Public Health and the Police and Fire Crime Commission. We also continue to be supported by Eastgate Shopping Centre, Basildon Council and Peabody. We are very thankful to all our funders as this enables us to secure our premises for the next three years, employee expert staff, train volunteers, and run a variety of mental health and wellbeing related services.
