FAQs
LifeHub is a proposed new community building planned for Sale. It is designed as a modern,
shared space that brings together sport, learning, health, and community activities under one
roof. The aim is to create an accessible and welcoming place where people of all ages can
take part in activities, connect with others, and support their health and wellbeing.
LifeHub is being developed by Three Meem Foundation, a local charity that has been
supporting communities across Trafford since 2018.
The charity currently delivers a wide range of services, including sports activities, health and
wellbeing programmes, education support, community events, and faith-related activities
alongside its broader community work.
Many local activities currently operate from hired halls or shared venues that are limited in
availability and not designed for long-term community use.
LifeHub will bring these activities together in one purpose-built centre, improving
accessibility, coordination, and sustainability. It will also allow new activities to be
introduced as community needs evolve over time.
LifeHub will be open to everyone and is designed to serve:
– Children and families
– Young people
– Adults and older residents
– People from all backgrounds
The centre is intended to be inclusive, welcoming, and shared by the whole community.
LifeHub is expected to provide space for:
– Indoor sports and fitness activities
– Learning, training, and skills development
– Health and wellbeing support
– Youth and family activities
– Community meetings and events
– A café and social spaces
– Prayer facilities
Final details will be confirmed as plans progress.
No. LifeHub is not a mosque and it is not a faith-only centre.
It is a multi-use community building designed to support a wide range of activities for the
whole community.
Prayer facilities are included to meet existing local demand for daytime prayer, similar to
provision already available in other community buildings.
These facilities will sit alongside a wide range of other uses and do not change LifeHub’s
primary role as a shared community facility.
No. The majority of activities at LifeHub will focus on sport, health, learning, and general
community use.
Faith-related activities will form only a small part of the overall programme.
LifeHub will be open to people of all backgrounds. Use of the building will be carefully
managed to ensure balance, inclusivity, and shared access.
A community use agreement will help ensure the space reflects the needs of the wider
community and is used fairly.
Nothing will change.
The Sale West Community Centre will continue to operate as it does now. LifeHub is an
additional facility, not a replacement. Both centres will operate alongside each other to
provide more choice and opportunities for local residents.
LifeHub will be accessible by public transport, including nearby bus routes.
Walking and cycling will be encouraged, and parking will be included as part of the plans.

poor weather.

private donations.

LifeHub is intended to grow and adapt with community needs, supporting health, education,
sport, employment, faith-based activity, and social connection over the long term.
