Shipley Towns Fund
 Shipley is one of 101 places across England selected for up to £25m investment as part of the Government’s Towns Fund initiative.
The Cellar Trust and HALE have submitted a joint bid for funding to develop a Health, Wellbeing and Community Campus (HWCC) in Shipley. Creation of the HWCC will change the way in which mental health and wellbeing services are delivered and how they connect with the people who need them, so that people receive appropriate, holistic support which meets their needs.
We would welcome your views on which mental health and wellbeing services, organisations and facilities you would like to see available at the campus.
