Overview
We initially negotiated the lease and then led the five-month refurbishment of a three-storey building, converting retail spaces for clinical use. The Living Well Hub opened in March 2024, providing assessment rooms, group session rooms, clinical and non-clinical consultation rooms, a children’s play area and a café in central Warrington.
Impact
- Addresses health inequalities: Through a centrally located, easily accessible facility that is improving community engagement for over 5,000 people.
- Better access to health and wellbeing services: Providing primary care and community services in the city centre makes it far easier to attend appointments using good, reliable public transport links.
- Reduces pressure on emergency services: Increased primary care capacity meant less emergency department visits, where people often go if they can’t see their GP.
- Supports town centre regeneration: By attracting potential shoppers to the city centre.
