Hastings Commons supports a dynamic programme of activities, which are inspired and led by different communities in Hastings and are integral to the Commons model of community development. The programme works with young people, creative technologies, heritage and combinations of these, creating mechanisms for thinking forward and community innovation through refining authentic co-creation techniques.
Current Projects
Youth Commons
Hastings Youth Commons work with those aged 11-18 responding to the wants and needs of young people in and around Hastings, in close partnership with Xtrax Young People's Centre.
OBX
OBX is the creative technology hub for Hastings Commons. They explore the opportunities presented by creative technology to build stronger communities, develop artistic practice and support employment potential.
Heritage
As a Heritage Development Trust, Hastings Commons supports local people and organisations to tackle challenging heritage issues.
The Common Room
The Common Room is a gift to the people of Hastings - a warm welcoming space that costs nothing to spend time in. While the Common Room is being renovated, the Mini Common Room is open in its place.
