Happy Hub

23/12/2025

As 2025 draws to a close, we are taking a heartfelt moment to reflect on an incredible year at Motivated Minds. It has been a journey filled with growth, and while we faced a few obstacles along the way, the strength and spirit of our community brought us closer together than ever before.

We’ve been so inspired by everyone who stepped out of their comfort zone this year—from those mastering the grit of a new sport at Personal Challenge to those joining our Programmes. Your determination is what makes the Happy Hub such a special place.

As we prepare to open a blank new chapter for 2026, we are filled with hope and excitement for the new challenges and experiences ahead.

Please note our holiday hours:

We are closed from the 24th Dec.

The Happy Hub will reopen on Tuesday, 6th January.

Wishing you all a joyful Christmas filled with love and a bright New Year. We can't wait to see you back on the court and in the hub to smash those 2026 goals together!

To the lovely lady who paid it forward—thank you, from the bottom of our hearts! 🧡

We were completely moved and humbled today when a wonderful lady came into the HAPPY Hub and handed us an envelope containing a kind donation and a note thanking us for the services we deliver.

This incredible act of generosity means more than we can express. Donations like this are the lifeblood of Motivated Minds and the HAPPY Hub. They are what keep our doors open, our lights on, and the vital mental health and wellbeing support running for our community.

To you, and to every person who supports us: thank you for your endless support and love! You are directly enabling us to help others thrive.

We hate waste, so having bananas from our cafe that weren't their best we gave them away. A young man wanted them to make banana bread with his mum. They just sent us this lovely photo and a thank you. Isn't he great!!!
