Fostering creative heritage, ecological resilience & community care in Bequia

 

Safe spaces heal, offering refuge, sparking inspiration, and nurturing creativity, care, and joy. They are the heart where community spirit breathes and grows. The Hub Collective Inc. stands as Bequia’s sanctuary, a shared haven where youth, creatives and the wider public come together to heal, create, and belong.

 

Our Pillars

  • The Arts

    Representation empowers us; seeing ourselves reflected ignites confidence, awakens creativity, and deepens our capacity to listen, learn, and lead with clarity, purpose, and pride in who we are becoming.

Featured Project

Bush Medicine Revival

Bush Medicine Revival uses a medicinal garden and storytelling to promote community healing and environmental stewardship through the recovery of Traditional Ecological Knowledge on Bequia. Bush Medicine Revival is supported by the Prince Claus Fund for Culture and Development and Goethe-Institut and is a part of their Cultural and Artistic Responses to Environmental Change. In 2023, we were awarded a grant from the St. Vincent and the Grenadines Conservation Fund (SVGCF), which continues to build on the foundation of the prior grants from PCF and Goethe-Institut.

Healing Together

Healing Together aims to establish sustainable, culturally relevant, and locally-governed psychosocial support systems to expand equitable access to mental health services in underserved, rural, and marginalised Grenadine communities. Integrating traditional knowledge, community leadership, and mental health best practices, the project builds sustainable, locally governed systems of care that address urgent mental health needs while tackling deep-rooted social, economic, and structural vulnerabilities that hinder disaster response and trauma recovery in isolated, climate-vulnerable communities. Healing Together bridges social divides, reduces stigma, and creates inclusive, community-led pathways to long-term healing, well-being, and climate resilience. It positions mental health as a foundational pillar of sustainable development in the region.

“My time at The Hub Collective has moulded me into a better version of myself. My role made me aware of the spectacular local market of handcrafted items and the range of artisans that are creating. I was able to give back to my community, develop my writing, and gain a deeper appreciation for art and photography through my work. I found myself being more creative, confident in myself and communicative.”
