First birthday for Warsop’s hub of health and wellbeing

Posted onPosted on 29th May

Warsop Health Hub, on Carr Lane, is celebrating 12 months of keeping the local community active.

On 1st June, to mark its first birthday, it will be offering a range of free taster sessions and activities, a prize draw to win a membership, free health checks, and more.

Since opening, the hub has attracted more than 2,000 members, who have joined to use the centre’s gym, swimming pool, workout studio, multi-activity sports hall, and community room. More than 15% of all Warsop residents are currently signed up for a membership at the facility.

Thanks to its community room and active wellbeing programme of events, the hub has also been able
to offer a range of free to access sessions, including its Lift the Curfew evening walking group and
short walks as part of the Small Steps to Feeling Great partnership. The team have also worked with
the local NHS to run falls prevention sessions and offered family treasure hunts utilising Carr Lane
Park.

Since opening, the hub has also introduced the GP/health service referral scheme, Healthy Life, with
almost 80 people already supported towards more active, healthier lifestyles.

Brian Taylor, chair of More Leisure Community Trust (MLCT), which manages the hub and three other
leisure centres in Mansfield with operating partner Seco Leisure, said: “We’re incredibly proud of what the Warsop Health Hub has achieved in its first year. Our aim was to create a welcoming and accessible space where everyone in Warsop could find the support they needed to take charge of their own health and wellbeing.

“The positive response to the hub’s opening from this community over the past 12 months has been
overwhelming. In the space of just one short year, this small centre has had a huge impact!”

David Evans, Mansfield District Council assistant director health, Communities & Insight, added: “The success of the Warsop Health Hub in its first year is a fantastic example of what can be achieved through strong partnership working and a shared commitment to community wellbeing. From day one, the health hub has been embraced by local residents, and it’s been inspiring to see so many people
getting involved, whether through fitness memberships, wellbeing sessions, or community events.

“Keeping Warsop healthy and active has always been at the heart of this project, and the response
over the last 12 months shows just how valued this facility is. We’re proud to have worked alongside
More Leisure Community Trust, Vibrant Warsop, and Active Notts – along with many, many other
valued partners – to deliver a hub that’s already making a real difference, and we look forward to
building on this success in the years to come."
