COMMUNITY HUB
The Community Hub at St Barnabas was set up to help provide a space for organisations working in Epsom
For years there has been a presence at St Barnabas of various charities and organisations, working within the community to provide support, advice, friendship and care. Love Me Love My Mind was set up 20 years ago by members of St Barnabas, and continues to be a big part of life at St Barnabas. Through the creation of the Community Hub, many more organisations have become involved as part of the life of what goes on here.
