Fleetwood Town Community Trust has secured £369,000 in funding to expand their work with young people, families and the wider Fleetwood community.

Successful bids were made to The National Lottery Community Fund; Wyre Council Community Resilience Fund, delivered in partnership with Community First Blackpool, Wyre & Fylde; Regenda Homes and Places for People.

The funding will allow the Trust to develop their programme of groups and support for children and young people at the FTCT Youth Hub, celebrated with a relaunch event last week.

Times are available on 11th & 25 November, 2nd & 16th December - all Wednesdays for appointments of 20 - 30 minutes.

The sessions are delivered by FCMS from their Mobile Wellness Hub, parked on the North Albert Street side of the former hospital building ... and they've been a huge success!

For people who can't or wouldn't normally attend a GP surgery or engage with health professionals, they are an informal way to receive support.

The health checks are one of the many ways Thrive Fleetwood and their partners are finding new ways to tackle health inequalities and improve the wellbeing of the local community.

See the Facebook event FREE NHS Health Check for more information and to book your appointment.

Thank you to everyone who attended the Fleetwood Trust AGM this afternoon.

Dr Mark Spencer and Charley Wilkinson, chair and CEO respectively of the Trust, introduced speakers from some of the organisations based at The HUB including One Fylde, Blackpool and The Fylde College and Thrive Fleetwood. They spoke about the opportunities working in partnerships offers them and the community, now and in the future.

Charley added that the question is often asked, "How do you reach the hard-to-reach?" ... The HUB is about making support and services accessible to all, in the community.

Several of the Trustees were present. Some have been members of the Board since the largely derelict and unused hospital building was purchased from the NHS in 2018 and they mentioned the pride they feel in seeing what's being achieved.

There was also a visiting group of NHS leaders from Grimsby, Lincolnshire, keen to learn lessons from The HUB's approach to bringing health and social care providers together on one site.

And the afternoon was captured by a film crew from The King's Foundation - an educational charity established in 1990 by King Charles III to build sustainable communities. They've been following the progress of The HUB since the start and have produced a Social Impact Report on the project - this will be published soon.

A special shout out to Karonne, one of the amazing volunteers in the Heart of the Hub cafe. She shared how much volunteering meant to her and the difference it was making to her self-confidence.

This was a great example of something Dr Spencer said in his summing up ..."Hospitals and the staff that work in them do an an incredible job when people are ill - The HUB is about keeping them well."
