Purpose

To create a health and wellbeing campus offering wide range of integrated support services delivered by a skilled workforce and a team of volunteers who are trained in engaging, assessing, motivating and giving people the tools to improve their health and wellbeing.

Objectives

The aim of the Health, Wellbeing and Community Campus is to create an inclusive, welcoming, accessible environment which will create a space for a range of health and wellbeing activities and early help and prevention support for all ages.
To provide a new and upgraded community space and gardens
To offer new facilities for skills, training and supporting enterprise in an accessible location.
To provide new support for voluntary, community, and social enterprise organisations to collaborate, innovate, and grow.
To improve health and wellbeing services for people in Shipley, particularly for more vulnerable residents.
Establishing a new landmark close to the town centre will bring the added benefit of boosting footfall, benefitting local businesses and generating additional income for other local services.
The Campus not only economically benefits Shipley, but will provide resources for addressing social deprivation and health inequalities.
