Improving strength and balance
Wellbeing checks (MOTs and NHS Health Checks)
Simple steps to improve your mental wellbeing
Wellbeing support for workplaces
Other local services offering support.

Commenting on the new Wellbeing Hub, Horsham District Council Cabinet Member for Housing, Communities and Wellbeing Cllr Sam Raby said:

“I really enjoyed coming along to meet so many of you at the new Hub’s open day and thank you to our wellbeing champions for sharing their positives experiences as a result of our health and wellbeing services over the years.

“The new facilities are superb and create such a welcoming environment. They will make our services even more accessible to more people.

“Please do drop in and get as much free help and advice as you can to help you keep fit and healthy.”

The Centre will be staffed Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday 9am to 4.30pm and Wednesdays 1pm to 5pm. Evening appointments are available on request.

The Horsham Wellbeing Hub has been funded through West Sussex County Council and Horsham District Council as part of the West Sussex Wellbeing programme, with an additional one-off contribution from the Government’s UK Shared Prosperity Fund of £45,000.
