Hub Westminster is home to more than 500 entrepreneurs, working on early stage businesses driven to create positive social and environmental impact.
Hub Westminster provides an open platform for like-minded entrepreneurs and organisations. It brings people together to connect and collaborate, with access to workspace, learning, programmes and events.
Membership of Hub Westminster is made as affordable and flexible as possible. Organisations less than two years old are given discounted access to the facilities.
Launched in October 2011 on Pall Mall in London, Westminster City Council co-founded Hub Westminster with 00 and Simon Kirkham, working up an initial concept into a viable social enterprise, which is now generating a monthly operating profit, to re-invest in its membership community.
The Council committed a one-off grant of £300,000 and equity finance of £336,000 to get Hub Westminster started as a limited by shares Community Interest Company, taking a 40% shareholding.
Hub Westminster is now self-financing and continues to flourish.
