Respect. Listen. Nurture. Share. Invest. Act.
The Hubs Charter is a living document shaped by the voices, values, and visions of the Creative Community Hubs Network. Its origins stretch back to the very beginning of the Network, 3.5 years ago, and the foundational research we carried out with members—culminating in the Working Better Together report and the How We Would Like It to Be poster.
Since then, we’ve continued the conversation through a series of workshops—exploring our values, imagining our collective future, and setting shared priorities. This Charter is the result of that ongoing dialogue.
In April 2025, we officially launched the Charter at Duncan Place Community Hub, a celebration of the creativity, care, and collective power that has shaped this document from day one.
A Creative, Collaborative Process
In February 2025, we held a hands-on workshop to co-create the first iteration of the Charter. Each Network member created a 15-minute poster that reflected how we want to work in partnership, what we value about the Network, and our hopes for its future.
Together, we then cut, ripped, and collaged these posters—merging our ideas and languages into collective visuals using risoprinting. These posters formed the basis for this Charter and continue the conversation begun in Working Better Together.
The Charter
This Charter is a work in progress—co-developed with and for members of the Creative Community Hubs Network. It’s an open invitation to external partners to align with our values before beginning any collaboration.
Each Hub may adopt the Charter in their own way—through signed agreements, website displays, email signatures, or everyday practice. As a Network, we’re still exploring how to embed the Charter most effectively across our work.
We invite you to read, reflect, and engage.
Let’s build better partnerships. Let’s work better together.
