MOVING A MOUNTAIN

When I first started this job, I remember feeling overwhelmed at the scale of the task in front of me, particularly with our building, which was (and still is!) in need of a major refurbishment. My initial plan was to do it all in one go, which we found out would cost us around £1.5 million. No wonder I felt overwhelmed!

Lots has changed since then, and what I’ve come to realise is that we’re not going to do it all in one go, and that’s ok. This is a mountain and we will move it, but maybe not in the way I thought. In the last few years I’ve watched our building transform ‘one stone at a time’ as we’ve refurbished and upgraded several spaces and systems. This spring we’ve seen huge changes to our main community space, with new lights and acoustic softening panels installed. That’s a pretty big chunk of the mountain! We also see this same metaphor in ourselves and the people we work with. Transformation is rarely instant or dramatic, it’s just one small step or stone at a time. I hope you enjoy reading about some of the things we’re doing to enable change and transformation through our community work, in this edition of Hub News.
