📡 THE MOBILE HUB

A connected base for your outreach

Starlink internet, solar power, printing, extra tablets and computers, a kitchen, seating and a 32" connected screen - a temporary support space wherever we park, so your team can work as if they're in the office.

🔒 Professionals get their own separate, secure login - an end-to-end encrypted connection through Starlink, kept completely apart from the public Wi-Fi.

Online booking is coming soon. For now, enquire through this page so we can talk through location, capacity, safeguarding and practical needs.

Light-touch to start

We don't ask for a lengthy agreement for every organisation that runs an activity with us.

Agreements where needed

For regular service delivery we may agree an MoU covering responsibilities, safeguarding, insurance and use of facilities.

Referral pathways & data

Regular referrals get an agreed pathway; personal information is shared only with consent and the right data-sharing arrangements.
