You may have seen them at our hub, or out and about in the community, but who are the people behind our Bromsgrove Hub?

We caught up with Ashley, Safiya, Katie, Chelsea and Kelly to learn more about what they enjoy most about their roles, what keeps them busy outside of work and what they like most about being part of the Bromsgrove community.
