The Hub @ Low Pavement is a space for community, dedicated to bringing people together, hosting groups and activities and a central point to find out what’s happening in local areas.
This page is the best place to find out what’s happening and what’s coming soon.
The Hub aims to be an inclusive, welcoming and friendly place for members of the public and for volunteer-led community groups. We actively support community action, social connectedness, mental health and improved wellbeing.
The Hub is the home of the Feeling Connected Project, which works across Chesterfield and North East Derbyshire to increase social connectedness and reduce isolation and loneliness. Find out more here.
The Hub acts as just that, a safe place for community groups to meet and enjoy their time together, every day we see the difference this space makes to people across Chesterfield. We want to make sure that it continues, but we need help in doing so, to ensure we can continue to offer this vital space and make a positive impact on our community.

Volunteer Opportunities
Our volunteers are vital to create a friendly atmosphere and a place where people can find out what they are looking for. It really helps to welcome everyone who walks in with a smile and an easy conversation. Talking about people’s life, their passions, skills, hobbies and ambitions and encouraging them to share and contribute to the community is always a good start.
Our volunteer welcomer roles are organised into shifts at The Hub; in the morning from 10am-12.30 or the afternoon 12.30-3pm, on either Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays or Thursdays.
Our existing groups and their start and finish times can be found above and we are looking for co-facilitators in most of the activities. If you have a skill or interest which doesn’t feature then do contact Helen, our Hub Coordinator for a conversation about it
Our Hub Community signposting team tends to meet on a Thursday afternoon from 12.30 -1.30pm with flexible input during the week. You’re welcome to call into their meeting and have a chat to find out more.
