How to Start a Hub

What is a hub?

• [Definition: a seed distribution point where community members can come to collect seeds]
• Operated by one or more people willing to take on an admin role
• Seeds are provided by the project — you do not need to supply seeds yourself
• [What it needs to get started: a suitable space and someone willing to manage it]

What kind of space works?

• Needs to be sheltered from the elements
• Access to storage containers is useful; refrigeration is a bonus
• [Examples of suitable spaces: a room in a community building, a storage area at a school or mosque, etc.]
• Does not need to be permanent — an interim space is fine while a longer-term location is arranged

Registering your interest

If you have a space in mind, or you are interested in finding one, register your interest using the form below. You do not need to have everything organised before registering.

• [Link to /hub-registration expression of interest form]
• [What the form asks: your contact email, a description of your location/neighbourhood, any space you have in mind]
• [What happens after you submit: the coordination team will follow up with more information]

What happens next

• The coordination team will be in touch after you register
• Over the coming weeks, more detailed guidance will be sent about how to set up and manage a hub
• If you are the only person interested in your area, we will try to connect you with others nearby who may also want to be involved
