Save The Haven Hub Campaign

Thanks to a generous grant received in December 2024 Age Concern Southend are close to securing the £1.2 million needed to purchase The Haven Community Hub, but we still need to raise £240.000 by September 2025 to make this dream a reality.

By purchasing the building the charity will save £90,000 annually in rent, and give us financial stability to expand our services and meet the growing demand to ensure we are there for those who need us most.

We would be very grateful for any donation you can make as every penny will truly matter. This will help us to secure the future of The Haven Community Hub and Age Concern Southend; helping your community live healthier, happier and more independent lives whilst continuing to develop a community where older people can flourish.
