Front- Community Hub

So that’s it! We’re done.

Thank you so much to everyone who has supported FRONT over the last 3-4 years.

We’ve got to know so many lovely people in this wonderful community. Thank you for all of the well wishes these last few weeks.

Su will now enjoy embracing her creative side in retirement, both in the garden and at the easel
…as well of course as in the kitchen!

Your community hub at 197 London will continue to flourish as a loose food shop and plant-based cafe under the new name, Planted, led by Vision 21 with Poco Culina providing the menu.

Please do continue to support them as
brilliantly as you did with us.

Follow them for all further updates from the hub:

Su sowed a seed,
Nurtured and nourished it,
And now that it’s flourishing,
FRONT is Planted!

On 27th January 2024 Su and Sam will bid a final farewell to our customers as we pass on our ‘beloved’ project, FRONT Community Hub, to Vision21, the foremost environmental charity in Cheltenham.

We have been thrilled to welcome you all to our Vegan Cafe, Loose Foods Shop and Galleries and every day has brought many smiles to our faces. Thank you for embracing what we have quietly managed to offer.

Vision 21 aims to continue offering Loose Foods plus “Planted”, their new Vegan Cafe, while also adding in more community projects. We are so happy that they wish to continue to run and further develop what we started in 2020.

Thank you to all our wonderful staff and volunteers: Lorraine, Ash, Amena, Bev, Ella, Mark, Trish, Edie, Abi, Amy, Fern, Shaunak, Vicky, Tina, Courtney, Rose, Rachael, Lucy & Sarah.

Special thanks to Charlton Kings Parish Council and CK Futures, who will continue to work here with Vision 21.

And very special thanks to Liv, who helped Su to get FRONT started and stayed with us for our first two years.

Cheers for now! We are sure that some of our paths will cross again in the future. 🙏💚

Last open day of 2023: Friday 22nd December.

We’ll then be closed for a Christmas break.⛄️❄️🎄

Open again on Thursday 4th January 2024!

Su sowed a seed,
Nurtured and nourished it,
And now that it’s flourishing,
FRONT is Planted!

We've got lots of lovely handcrafted Christmas makes, vegan chocs and other gifts here at FRONT Hub.

This is just a small selection. We'll be sharing more over the rest of the week.

Please do pop in and have a look. The local makers and craftspeople that display their work here are incredibly talented, and shopping small and local is a great way to support our wonderful community 🥰
