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.
