Exchange Road News

For a while now, we have been planning to build a new centre, The Hub - a vibrant, purpose-built sanctuary for people experiencing homelessness.

More than just a building, The Hub will offer life-changing support under one roof: nourishing meals, vital healthcare, expert housing guidance, and more than 25 emergency bedrooms for those who have hit rock bottom and have nowhere else to turn. Designed to meet today’s needs as well as tomorrow’s challenges, The Hub will be future-proofed, providing compassionate, holistic care for generations to come.

Where will The Hub be? Well, we already own one site on Exchange Road and we are hoping to purchase another! You may have seen from the Watford Borough Council Facebook post that we are hoping to purchase 122 Exchange Rd. This will be discussed at their cabinet meeting on 1 July.

We are so grateful for the gifts of people in wills that will enable New Hope to purchase this property. Another significant milestone on the way to seeing The Hub become reality.
