Arhag Annual Report 2021

TheM&RHub is a high priority in our business development plan going forward. This major initiative in ARHAG’s development is our business centre but it also provides the facility to drive better services for our M&R clients, providing a new amenity, serving and supporting the surrounding community in and around Newham. This facility will be capable of operating outside accepted core working hours, thereby striving to deliver 24-hour services and maximising the use of available resources. The M&R Hub was fitted out to a high specification, allowing ARHAG and our fellow partners to move in and start work immediately. Having opened in June 2019 the Hub had operated for less than a year before the Covid-19 pandemic resulted in governmental advice that all bar essential travel should cease and staff should work from home where possible.
