Holderness Estate have been maximising the potential of their Hook House community hub. During the Easter half term a number of volunteers managed by Ms Janique Ovid, created a number children activities including cookery classes and a community tree planting day.
The highlight of these activities was arguably a creative music production course as seen in image. Recently a signing in and out book was introduced for whoever is using the community centre. With free Wi-Fi connectivity throughout the centre and free printer accessibility for residents only, the Hook House community hub is a standard bearer.
