An inclusive community space in Hoylake, Wirral – where people of all ages can connect, feel safe, and thrive.
The Quirky Community Hub C.I.C. is a Community Interest Company based in Hoylake, Wirral. We exist to support people experiencing disadvantage, isolation, neurodivergence, poverty, trauma, or barriers to inclusion – and to build a community where difference is not just accepted, but celebrated.
We provide a welcoming, low-barrier space where children, young people, adults and families can come together, access support, build skills, and shape the decisions that affect their lives.
At the heart of our work is the Quirky Community Programme, delivered six days a week from our Hub on Market Street.
Our programme combines:
Everything we do is designed to be access-first, flexible, and non-judgemental.
We work with people who are often underserved or overlooked, including:
In a typical year, more than 2,500 people engage with The Quirky through activities, events, volunteering, or use of our space.
Our organisation is built on lived experience. Most of our staff and volunteers are neurodivergent, parents of neurodivergent children, or have direct experience of the challenges our community faces. This shapes everything — from how our space feels, to how we design activities, to how we listen.
We actively involve our community in shaping what we offer. Through open planning boards, feedback loops, co-designed sessions and informal conversations, people help guide our programme in real time.
We don’t just respond to need – we help people build confidence, skills and agency. Whether that’s through cooking classes, wellbeing workshops, creative expression, or quiet support ahead of a school meeting or appointment, our focus is long-term resilience and empowerment.
Hoylake is often perceived as affluent, yet many residents experience hidden deprivation, isolation, or barriers to support. We exist to make sure no one falls through the gaps.
