Clarion and local Councillors welcome Sähëlï Hub to their new home in Alum Rock
Cllr Sharon Thompson cuts the ribbon to mark Sähëlï Hub's move into the Alum Rock community centre alongside Cllr Mariam Khan
On Wednesday [10 May], Cllr Sharon Thompson, Birmingham City Council Cabinet Member for Housing & Homelessness, cut the ribbon to mark health and wellbeing charity Sähëlï Hub’s move into the Clarion Housing Community Centre in Alum Rock. Cllr Thompson was also joined by the Councillor for Alum Rock, Cllr Mariam Khan.
The community centre sits at the heart of Alum Rock in Birmingham, a city where Clarion owns and manages thousands of homes, and acts as meeting place for local residents as well as a space for events and activities.
Thanks to funding from partners including Clarion Futures, the charitable foundation of Clarion Housing Group, Sähëlï Hub delivers a wide range of exercise, health education and crafts activities, helping to improve community wellbeing with a focus on reaching women from diverse backgrounds. A key part of this is the diabetes prevention programme delivered at the community centre, helping local residents to reduce their risk of developing type 2 diabetes by improving their health and lifestyle.
