About Revive Hub

A compassionate team, dedicated to helping people in need.

We promote equality in housing for every social group — investing in our local area so people can live better lives, thrive in their communities, and build a brighter future.

Our story

Housing is a priority for everyone.

Revive Hub has been operating since 2020, and was formally established as a Community Interest Company in 2024. We know that to survive, people need adequate shelter and food — without those basics, it's impossible to develop and grow.

So we invest our resources into the local area to help people live better lives and thrive in their communities. We promote the empowerment of marginalised groups — including refugees, asylum seekers and victims of domestic abuse — so they can access suitable accommodation and make their own decisions about the future.

Founder & Director

Usma Rehman

Revive Hub was founded by Usma Rehman, who brings over 15 years of experience in the housing sector — supporting vulnerable groups and helping people into suitable housing. A specialist Domestic Violence advocate certified by Women's Aid, Usma has a particular passion for supporting women who are fleeing abuse and need help with housing. That experience and care runs through everything Revive Hub does, backed by trained staff on site day and night across our projects.
