The Story Behind Your Local Hub

I’m Jess — a mum of three (two girls and a little boy) and a proud local who has come full circle back to my Surrey roots.

After living in Cobham and spending many years in London, I returned to Surrey with a deeper appreciation for community and connection — and a real understanding of the juggle that comes with busy family life.

Like so many parents and locals, I know how important it is to have trusted recommendations at your fingertips — whether that’s finding the right class for your children, a great hairstylist, or a reliable plumber when you really need one.

Every day, valuable recommendations are shared across WhatsApp chats, Facebook groups, and conversations at the school gates. This platform grew from those shared conversations and a simple idea: to bring all that local knowledge together in one easy-to-access place.

Your Local Hub was created to help save time, reduce overwhelm, and make everyday decisions simpler.

This space is for you — busy families and locals juggling work, home life, and everything in between.

Whether you’re new to the area, not part of local social groups, or simply want a trusted place to discover great local businesses, you’re in the right place.

Welcome — I’m so glad you’re here 💙
