South Hub
Day Opportunities Centre
The South Hub adult provides a range of opportunities for adults who have additional support needs, delivering positive impacts and outcomes for both the individuals attending and their families or support networks.
Situated at the heart of Netherton, on the corner of Park Lane and Dunningsbridge Road with excellent transport links for accessibility, we have a purpose-built centre with extensive grounds, which have recently undergone transformational improvements to create a sensory room and sensory garden area and a horticulture section from which our service users grow beautiful fresh produce all year round.
About South Hub
I like coming to South hub because the staff are friendly, very helpful and nice to me, it’s a nice atmosphere.
I enjoy joining in sessions and the company of others.

I have been coming to the centre a long time when it was called Bootle ATC, it is now called South hub. I have known some people for a long time. I enjoy my timetable that I picked on the two days I attend.
I have learnt new skills in textiles and made some things. I have also enjoyed communication and talking about local history. I also made a water feature with others in art and craft.

I like meeting up with my friends, I like to stay active and busy and enjoy lots of different sessions, I am looking forward to visiting Liverpool football club, Anfield with South hub’s football team.
John
I love the centre , it’s better than staying at home.
I love boy George and singing his songs on karaoke, in music on a Friday.
I am good at papier-mâché in art and making props for the drama and lots of other things, I made a bird from drift wood off the beach.
Elizabeth
As a visitor at South hub I was very impressed with the welcome that I received from the receptionist Aimee, she was polite and friendly and engaged me in conversation whilst I waited, asking questions about me and showing an interest, fantastic first impression.
The rest of my visit at South hub did not disappoint.

Impacts & Outcomes
Over the last two years the service continuously looks to evolve and grow, and despite the challenges of the pandemic, we have welcomed a number of new people to The Hub, increasing the support hours being delivered.
Our aspiration is to continue to grow and become a flagship opportunities centre, creating a bespoke service that reduces the number of admissions to hospital or nursing/care home facilities, also supporting to nurture relationships with their families, carers and advocates.
