Monty's Community Hub / 59 Montague Avenue, Sholing, Southampton, SO19 0QB / Registered Charity Number 1155649
MONTY'S is a creative hub at the heart of our community. It's a space which belongs to our whole community; everyone in our neighbourhood in Sholing/Thornhill . The idea is for this to be an place where we can meet up, share life, get active, make new friends, learn new skills, improve job prospects, get help and advice, and have fun!
MONTY'S is more than just a building - its a community. Our vision is to encourage and enable personal, social and spiritual growth in our community, so we can all enjoy abundant life within a flourishing neighbourhood. Monty's has a Christian ethos, though people of any faith or none are welcome; our hope is to be an inclusive space of generous hospitality for everyone.
MONTY'S is a charity run mainly by volunteers (with support from Oasis Academy Mayfield, and St Mary’s Church Sholing) - and we're always looking for new volunteers - can you help?
Some of our activities charge a small fee to cover costs, but please let us know if this is a problem and we may be able to reduce your fee - as our goal is for everyone in our community to be/feel included at Monty’s. If you'd like to join in with any of our groups/activities, just pop in sometime, or get in touch via the contact page. We look forward to hearing from you!
MONTY'S hosts various groups for children, young people, families, older people, and others, with special events for the holidays. If you've got any good ideas, time you could spare, skills you could share or would like to learn - let us know! Our term-time programme includes:
