CHARD community hub is preparing to celebrate four years of service in town with an exhibition of its work.
Chard Community Hub, which began on Fore Street in May 2022 and now operates from the Boden Centre, will host the event on Saturday, May 30.
The exhibition will highlight the Hub’s impact and the wide range of support services it provides, including food assistance, wellbeing groups, and early years support.
Serena Wootton, chair of Chard Community Hub, said: "This event gives the public a chance to see everything that we offer and ask any questions about what we do.
"We’re incredibly proud of the last four years of hard work and want to celebrate with our supporters."

The Hub offers cradle-to-grave services, including ante- and post-natal support for parents, social groups for people experiencing isolation, and connections to external organisations such as health visitors, social landlords, the RSPCA, Reach, and the NHS.
The exhibition will run from 9am to 1pm and will include displays, information stands, and presentations from the various groups that use the Hub.
For example, the team from the popular Repair Hub will be there to demonstrate its cost-saving work.
