The new Hub Alkrington, in Middleton, was launched in July as a ‘one-stop’ shop enabling adults to access a range of wellbeing and care services
Care bosses have insisted a community hub’s £150,000 revamp is value for money and will provide ‘quality’ services for vulnerable and older people.
Claire Richardson, the council's director of adult care, stresses that the boroughwide service is at the heart of the authority's strategy to improve people’s mental wellbeing and reduce health inequalities. She said: “Through ongoing consultation and engagement, community groups and residents will continue to have the opportunity to shape future service provision, as the hub continues to grow and expand.
Coun Dale says the revamp was badly needed to ensure the hub provides a welcoming environment rather than a building that is ‘cold and damp’. “The success will be in the number of people that use it once it’s up and running and you have the groups in there that should be in there,” she said.
