Latest news and updates from Qube

Hello from us all at Qube! 

While our doors are not quite ready to open yet, we are still here if you need us! 
We are currently working hard to put social distancing measures in place in our building to protect visitors, volunteers and staff. Please keep an eye on our social media pages for the latest updates.

There is lots of new content on our website, including exhibitions, stories, creative ideas and videos. We also have a new online workshop coming up for Shropshire based creative practitioners who are looking to create a film about their work.

If you would like to speak to us about anything please get in touch. You can contact us on 01691 656882 or email info@qube-oca.org.uk.

Here are some of our latest opportunities and services...

Can you help us? 
We've been keeping in touch with members of our social groups over the phone while the groups are temporarily suspended. We're now in need of more telephone volunteers to help us do this. Can you spare a bit of time each week to help? Please call us on 01691 656882 or email info@qube-oca.org.uk for more information.
