A Volunteer Run Organisation
Did you know that Wenvoe Community Library/Hub is a volunteer run organisation? Our wonderful Volunteers give their time freely as do the Management Team.
We rely on our own fundraising to pay for all our costs, which include heating, lighting, insurance, and coffee machine, in order for everyone to benefit from this wonderful community space. We do not receive any funding from other sources.
We would like to thank all those individuals who have supported our fundraising activities, and we hope to see you again together with your friends and families in the future, to enjoy our full and varied programme of events that we have planned throughout the year. Join our Facebook and Instagram pages for up and coming events. We will also advertise on the Wenvoe Community Facebook page.
We couldn’t do it without you – thank you !

Talks at the Hub
The Incredible Story of Benito Mussolini: Fascist Dictator of Italy
with Ross Thomas
Friday 17 April, 7.00pm
Tickets £5 – available from the Hub
Benito Mussolini ruled Italy from 1922 until his death in 1945. His life is one of the most extraordinary – and often bizarre – stories of any modern political leader, containing elements of both dark comedy and tragedy.
This fascinating talk explores Mussolini’s unlikely rise from relatively humble beginnings to absolute power. It examines the dramatic changes he imposed on Italy, the ambitions and disasters of his regime, and the startling details of his turbulent private life.
The story concludes with Mussolini’s fateful alliance with Hitler, Italy’s descent into war, and his dramatic end at the hands of his own people in 1945.
