The Story of Our Space

It started with a question: What if there was a place where no one felt alone?

A space where you could walk in, whether you were struggling, looking for connection, or just needed a moment of peace and know you belonged.

Our Story

Selby Big Local, a resident-led initiative funded by the National Lottery Community Fund, spent years listening to local people about what they needed most.

In 2019, after four years of community consultation, they purchased 58 Flaxley Road to transform it into a welcoming, community-owned space, shaped by and for local residents.
