Welcome to

The Heart of Newhaven Community

Here for everyone - bringing people together

Through partnership working and community engagement we seek to reduce isolation, challenge and remove barriers to participation, and create opportunities for people of all ages, from all walks of life and with a variety of interests, to come together.

Our intergenerational hub will help people experience, share and exchange culture and heritage, engage in formal and informal learning, and develop business and enterprise skills in an accessible, welcoming environment that contributes to the positive wellbeing of our Community.


About Us

Our intergenerational and collaborative practice encourages, develops, and facilitates inclusive activities which increase tolerance, celebrate diversity, and promote individual and community wellbeing.

Embedding intergenerational practice at The Heart is a key ambition which will take time and support to achieve. The aspiration is to work in partnership to bring older and young people together through purposeful, mutually beneficial activities to promote greater understanding and respect between the generations. We want everyone to be better connected, less socially isolated and more actively engaged with their community, contributing towards active

citizenship, increased independence, wellbeing and self-confidence across the generations.
