What do People say about The Hinge Centre?

‘The Hinge is an invaluable community organisation that plays a crucial role in our efforts as homeless navigators. In our line of work, we often rely on support from various organisations to meet the diverse needs of those we serve, and The Hinge has been consistently dependable in this regard. They provide an extensive range of essential resources, including food, clothing, and household items, which significantly aid our mission.’

‘Coming to group means a lot to me, it allows me to have a couple of hours to myself. The group has encouraged me to focus on myself, my health and encouraged me to give thought to how I can improve my health. The group has also helped me to connect with new friends in a safe and inclusive environment.’

Bridlington Health Forum

The Hinge have been a member of the East Riding Food Poverty Alliance since 2020, and they are an asset to have on board. As part of their ongoing contribution to reducing food poverty in Bridlington, The Hinge have continuously developed and adapted their services which now include an emergency food parcel service for those at crisis point, a Community Food Store and Waste Not Wednesday, providing fruit and vegetables which would otherwise go to landfill. The staff and volunteers at The Hinge are passionate about supporting their community, and they are more than happy to share ideas and best practice with the rest of the alliance.

Volunteering has been massively beneficial - my wife has noticed the difference she says I'm like a different man since I started volunteering at The Hinge...I'm more relaxed I'm less of a stress head, I still rant but I rant in a nicer way.
