Pippins Community Centre

User Groups / Statutory Services / Licensees as at Nov 2025

Pippins in her present form was established on the 4th October 2016 when The Axminster Hub Drug + Alcohol Recovery Project was birthed. We aim to do a few things and do them well. We are seeing that Pippins is becoming more and more a safe place to be known by name, a safe place to belong and a safe place for people to flourish. Much of our work is long haul stuff, quietly cracking on under the radar and with the privilege of being alongside and supporting some of our lovely town’s most vulnerable people.
