HUBB are looking for new committee members

As a Committee Member you would be expected to regularly attend Committee Meetings. These are held on the 3rd Wednesday of each month at 109 Rose Lane, Marks Gate. The meetings begin at 2.00pm and usually end by 4.30pm.

At these meetings you would be involved in discussions about HUBB and its work including policies, procedures and finances. We also discuss issues that affect the future services across NELFT (North East London Foundation Trust)


You may also be invited to attend meetings with other local organisations to act as a representative of HUBB, to put forward the view of service users. There will be opportunities to take advantage of free training for Management Committee Members. Your expenses will be paid by HUBB.

Committee Members are also encouraged to attend the HUBB Monthly Meetings from 5.00pm – 7.00pm at the Baptist Church in Romford on the first Thursday of each month.

If you are elected at the AGM, you would need to undertake a Criminal Records Bureau Check. Any conviction involving theft, financial dishonesty, violence or fraud would prohibit you from being a HUBB Committee Member.

If you would like to know more about becoming a Committee Member before you make this decision, please do not hesitate to contact Jenny or Dawn at the HUBB office.

Our collaborative project with people who have experienced some form of mental distress is about to be launched. If you are interested in contributing material - photographs, poems, short stories, paintings, drawings, etc - to be included in a book demonstrating what recovery means and looks like to you, get in touch with Rob - T: 020 8590 2498 - Email here. We have set up a separate 'Recovery Is...' Blog to keep you updated, as well as showcase work we receive. We hope that this will provide inspiration to others to get involved. Here are some examples to help stimulate your creativity:

We hope that the creation of the book will challenge stigma and descrimination around mental ill health issues. We are also very aware that some may want to provide material but want to remain anonymous. This is absolutely fine. Contact us to find out more Or visit the HUBB website which has a dedicated page to the project.

If you are interested in the potential of this form of collaborative and participative project you can view pages from a book 'Through Our Eyes' that Rob created with four young people from the communities in Mumbai HERE,
