The Ansvar Community Hub

Client: Multiple charities

The Community Hub is a free professional workspace in Brighton for Sussex-based charities and not-for-profit organisations, provided by Ansvar Insurance, part of the charitable trust-owned Benefact Group. It was created to address the real, pressing challenges faced by small and medium sized charities: lack of space, rising costs and limited opportunities for connection.

Located within our head office, the Hub offers flexible meeting rooms, hot-desking, accessible facilities and a kitchen area. Charities use it for meetings, training, planning and day-to-day work. It also hosts free workshops on AI, corporate partnerships and wellbeing, delivered in person and virtually.

The Hub has become a vital resource for the local sector. Our 2025 impact report revealed: • 91% of users saved up to £1,000 annually • Over 70% were able to support more clients • 20% gained new partners through networking

Usage spans homelessness, youth work, education, health and more.

Ansvar funds all costs, with staff managing bookings and events. Partnerships with local umbrella organisations ensure the Hub reaches those who need it most.

The Community Hub is a long-term commitment to strengthen the charity sector. It’s a practical, measurable expression of our purpose, and continues to grow in impact and ambition.
