Sectors // Overview

Community centres serve everyone. Their signage should too.

A community centre or civic hall runs a rolling calendar of programmes — baby-and-toddler groups, youth-club activities, adult-learning classes, over-60s social gatherings, cultural celebrations, food-bank collections, health-screening days. Different programmes serve different community segments in different languages. Paper notices miss most of them. Hangar.Media puts rolling event calendars on entrance and community-space screens, multi-language programme content matched to the neighbourhood's demographic data, civic information (voter registration, local-authority services, partner-organisation signposting) and accessibility-first welcome in community-language.

Sectors // What It Does

Built for how community centres actually run.

The capabilities that matter in this sector — concrete, specific, and backed by the integrations your team already uses.

Event Calendar // 01

Baby group Tuesday. Adult-learning Wednesday. Youth-club Friday.

Entrance and common-area screens run rolling event calendars drawn from your centre-booking system or iCal feed. Rotating through today's programmes, tomorrow's programmes and the weekly overview. Community members see what's on when — programme attendance climbs when the information reaches the community rather than just members on the mailing list.

Community programmes reach the community. Not just the email-subscribed.
  • iCal / Eventbrite / custom event-calendar integration
  • Today / tomorrow / this-week rolling schedule
  • Sign-up QR for capacity-limited programmes
  • Per-room event scheduling for multi-room community centres
Multi-Language // 02

Tower Hamlets: English + Bengali + Somali + Turkish.

Community centres serve linguistically diverse neighbourhoods. Per-centre language-defaults are configured from community-demographic data — a Tower Hamlets centre might default to English + Bengali + Somali + Turkish; a West Midlands centre might default to English + Urdu + Punjabi + Polish. Content libraries cover digital-literacy, new-citizen welcome, health-information and civic-participation in 12+ languages.

The centre speaks the neighbourhood's languages. Because the neighbourhood speaks those languages.
  • Per-centre language-defaults from community-demographic data
  • 12+ language content libraries (EN + community priorities)
  • Digital-inclusion and digital-literacy content
  • New-citizen / new-to-area welcome content
Civic Information // 03

Vote here. Register by Thursday. Help is available.

Community-space screens surface civic-information content — election day and polling-station reminders, voter-registration deadlines, census-participation prompts, local-authority service information, benefits-advice appointment signposting. Partners (StepChange, Citizens Advice, Shelter) receive visibility in the spaces where the people they serve spend time.

Civic participation climbs when the information is visible where the community gathers.
  • Election and voter-registration prompts with polling-station wayfinding
  • Local-authority service information (council tax, housing, welfare)
  • Partner-organisation signposting (Citizens Advice, StepChange, Shelter)
  • Census and community-survey promotion with multi-language versions
Partner Signposting // 04

Food bank here Thursday. Housing advice Tuesday.

Community centres hosting partner organisations (food bank collections, housing-advice surgeries, debt-counselling sessions, NHS health-screening days, community-policing drop-ins) need signage that helps partners and users find each other. Partner-session screens surface which partner is in, where they're located, what support they offer, and sign-up information.

Food bank collections, housing advice and health screenings actually reach the people who need them.
  • Partner-session calendar with per-session location signposting
  • Eligibility and drop-in-or-booking-required clarification
  • Multi-language partner-service information
  • Emergency-help signposting (domestic-abuse, crisis-intervention, suicide-prevention)
Accessibility // 05

WCAG AA. BSL. Makaton. Quiet-hours.

Community centres serve everyone — including deaf community members, autistic visitors, low-vision attendees and people with dementia. Accessibility isn't a toggle; it's the default. WCAG 2.1 AA baselines, BSL video overlays for deaf-community events, Makaton options for learning-disability groups, sensory-quiet programme flagging, large-type and high-contrast modes.

Every community means every community. Accessibility is how that's demonstrated.
  • WCAG 2.1 AA baseline defaults (contrast, type-size, screen-reader)
  • BSL video overlay for deaf-community events
  • Makaton options for learning-disability programmes
  • Sensory-quiet-hour programme flagging for autistic community members

Sectors // Questions

Common questions. Straight answers.

Which community-centre booking systems do you integrate with?

Halls Online, Hallmaster, Skedda, Eventbrite, iCal and custom community-event systems via REST API. For multi-room centres we integrate with Robin, GoBright and generic M365/Google Calendar room-booking. Partner-organisation scheduling (Citizens Advice, Food Aid Network, NHS) integrates via iCal feeds or REST API where partners support it.

How do you handle multi-language content for diverse communities?

Per-centre language-defaults are configured from community-demographic data. A centre in a Bengali-speaking neighbourhood defaults to English + Bengali + potentially Sylheti (regional variant). A centre in a Polish-speaking area defaults to English + Polish. Hangar.Media ships content libraries covering civic participation, digital literacy, health information and new-citizen welcome in 12+ languages with community-specific variants where needed.

How does partner-organisation signposting work?

Partner organisations (food banks, Citizens Advice, Shelter, StepChange, NHS mobile screening) provide session calendars via iCal feed or REST API. Hangar.Media surfaces which partner is in, when, where in the centre, and what support they offer. Partners appreciate the integration because it increases uptake of their services; community-centre staff spend less time directing users to partners.
