The Fountain Community Hub in Wallingford is marking five years since its launch by Ridgeway Community Church in 2021.
The Fountain Community Hub in Wallingford is marking five years since opening in 2021. Launched by Ridgeway Community Church, it replaced the church's former bookshop and has been transformed into a welcoming venue with contemporary seating and a refurbished kitchen for training and refreshments.
The hub is supported by staff and volunteers, including pupils from Wallingford School. It serves as a meeting point for regular visitors, community groups and families. Organisations such as Heartbeeps and Baby-Bar, which meet at the Ridgeway Centre, also use the facilities. The child-friendly environment has made it especially popular among families, though people of all backgrounds are welcomed.
Rachel Eccles, manager of the hub, said: 'It has been a joy to see how so many people have made The Fountain a second home over the years.' To mark the anniversary, the hub is inviting the public to visit throughout the month. The Fountain Community Hub is located at 21b St Mary's Street, Wallingford, and is open Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 10am to 2pm, and Friday from 10am to 12 noon.
