The Lodge, Community Hub
The Official Reopening
On Wednesday 24th May The Lodge, Community Hub was officially reopened by Helen Bath our previous and long-standing Chair of Governors.
Before Mrs Bath retired from her role as Chair of Governors, The Lodge was named after her as an appreciation of all her hard work, dedication, help and support that she had given Fulbridge over many years.
Over the years The Lodge has been used in many ways at Fulbridge from training courses, group work, special occasions, visitors, and now it has been transformed into a Community Hub, to help and support our Fulbridge community.
The Community Hub will be open every day and will help and support the community in many different ways. To find out more please visit 'The Lodge, Community Hub' page on our website.
Our Inclusion Team, lead by Mrs Metcalfe, will help and support. Mr Stretch (far right) will be based in The Lodge every morning and afternoon so if you have any questions or if you just want to have a sit down with a cup of tea or coffee then please pop in.
You are all welcome.
We look forward to seeing the Community Hub develop and make a difference to our community.
We would like to introduce an exciting new venture here at Fulbridge Academy
The Lodge Community Hub
The Community Hub is located at the back of the main school, near the 3G pitch.
The Lodge is a community space where we can offer different kinds of support to all our Fulbridge parents, carers, guardians and their children. It is open for all who are in need.
About the team:
Hi! I'm Mr Stretch and I will be based in The Lodge at the beginning and end of every school day.
Life is tough right now, and lots of people are struggling. That's why it's our mission to support you, our community as best we can!
I'll be here to help, offer advice or just be here for a coffee and a chat.
Hello, I am Mrs Palla. I have been at Fulbridge for many years and I am really excited to be offering the parent and toddler singing sessions. Informal and fun with dolls, teddies, pom-poms and more. I look forward to seeing you.
Hello, I am Ms. Patel and I will be offering mindfulness sessions at the lodge. The aim is to provide the parents of our community with a little time out for themselves and strategies to manage stress that comes with the demands of daily life.
Hope to see you soon.
