Who we are

HubL provides an independent, single point of contact to support asylum seekers, refugees and migrants to access English classes according to their individual needs.

At the heart of the hub is our mobile-friendly, multi-lingual website through which learners can book face-to-face English language assessments.

HubL language assessments take place regularly at community hubs and libraries throughout the locality. They’re free for everyone, regardless of income or immigration status.

Our Mission

We are an impartial, not for profit hub that helps refugees, asylum seekers and migrants access the right English language classes for them. We work closely with statutory and voluntary providers in the locality.

We support any non-native English speaker who is looking to improve their English. We offer a space for a professional initial assessment of English which is recognised by local ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) class providers, followed by unbiased signposting to appropriate classes for the levels and needs of learners. This can include help with enrolment in classes, and may extend to additional support.

How HubL Can Help You

When you arrive in the UK, one of the first things many people want to do is access English classes to improve your communication abilities, helping you to find work and be able to feel more at home.

HubL helps you achieve your English language learning goals faster, taking advantage of our local knowledge of class providers and enrolment processes.

We’re here to help you start your new life in the UK as smoothly as possible and will try to help you as much as we can. If we don’t know the answer to a question, we will help you find someone who does.

Everyone in the HubL Team has extensive experience working for major ESOL providers, and in the community, as teachers, assessors and managers.

We believe in the power of learning English to help people integrate more quickly into the local community, improving economic opportunities and overall wellbeing. We’re here to help with every step of your journey.

We’re professional, friendly and welcoming.
