Get Involved
Want to be part of something positive in the HD8 community?
The HD8 Life CIC mission is simple: to celebrate everything that makes HD8 special, and to make sure everyone has access to the tools, connections, and confidence they need to share their story.
We believe that budget should never be a barrier to being seen or supported. That’s why much of what we do is free or affordable, helping local people, groups, and businesses to thrive together.
There are lots of ways to get involved and make a difference - see below to find out more.
Every bit of support helps us build a stronger, more connected HD8, where community, creativity, and collaboration come first. Thanks for being part of something positive.
