Soul Hub was established in 2003 to serve the needs of the poor, needy and vulnerable. We have stayed true to the origins and continue to pursue this with passion and energy. Our culture is shaped by this, “We will do all we can with whatever we have for whoever comes through our doors”. Today more than ever the increasing disadvantaged in our community need the help and assistance Soul Hub offers. We are committed to being “more than a meal” delivering a wide range of help and support to everyone who comes.” Rick Prosser, Soul Hub CEO
As a community funded, volunteer driven, local Newcastle charity Soul Hub is focused on supporting Newcastle’s most vulnerable and many of our guests are experiencing homelessness, housing insecurity, mental unwellness, addiction and social isolation. Many have fallen through the gaps of society and societies support services.
Soul Hub is not a soup kitchen. Soul is a ‘compassionate community response to some deep community needs’. And, though we do a lot of free hot meals, we are way ‘more than a meal’. Soul Hub’s model for supporting vulnerable people is much like a 3-legged stool.
Leg 1: Simple Practical support.
Leg 2: Community, our ‘secret sauce’ for transformation.
Leg 3: A Convergence of Help.
At Soul, “everyone’s welcome because nobody’s perfect and anything is possible.
There are so many ways to get involved, from being a major sponsor to making a cash donation or becoming an active participant in one of our fundraising events. Many of our sponsor families support Soul by making in-kind contributions or by fundraising for us. No matter how much or how little time or cash you have, we hope you can find some way to help.
