The Hastings COVID-19 Community Hub (the Hub) brought together organisations from the voluntary and public sectors to share experiences, combine efforts and develop new ways of supporting local people through the pandemic and lockdowns.

This report describes what we learned during this remarkable period together with the wider implications for cross sector collaboration in Hastings.

Through community consultation, workshops and participatory appraisal activities, the project gathered residents’ views, priorities and ideas for the future of the area, helping shape a long-term plan for investment and community-led change in North East Hastings.
