Chatty Hull
Chatty Hull is an exciting citywide initiative led by us which has one simple aim – to get the people of Hull talking. Listening to residents’ feedback during projects across the city, volunteers from Absolutely Cultured recognised that there was a clear theme emerging – people wanted to get to know their neighbours.
In response to this, our volunteering team, working with partner organisations including The Hull We Want, Back to Ours, Believe in Hull, Hull City Council and the Police and Crime Commissioner, are driving forward Chatty Hull and the invite is extended to everyone across the city to get involved.
Chatty Hull had a day of events across the city on Saturday 28 September bringing the project to life, including 100 volunteers taking to 100 seats across the city ready to get chatting!
