Published on
A new facility designed to support adults with additional needs to live independently has been officially opened in Walsall.
The Deputy Mayor of Walsall, Councillor Anthony Harris, was joined by Mrs Christina Harris, Deputy Mayoress, for the opening on Friday 26 January 2024 at the Motivation Hub CIC in Walsall Wood.
The new space, known as Hub Lane 1, offers a safe and supportive environment where individuals can practise crucial life skills like cooking, cleaning, and hosting in a simulated home setting.
The space features a fully equipped kitchen, living room, bedroom, and dining area, catering to diverse needs with adjustable surfaces and accessible equipment.
“ It was an honour to declare this wonderful new facility open and to chat with clients and support workers.
This space is so more than a facility to learn new skills – it's about empowerment, community, and building a positive future for people.
We're thrilled to see the Motivation Hub making such a positive impact, and we can't wait to watch their amazing work continue! “
During their visit, the Deputy Mayor and Mayoress met staff and interacted with clients, witnessing first-hand the positive impact of Hub Lane 1.
They were treated to refreshments and enjoyed a ribbon-cutting ceremony to mark the official opening.
