We’re launching a network of Live Well spaces across the borough, with Stockroom at the heart as our flagship space. From there, the network connects into every local library, Family Hub, leisure centre, Cornerstone and our digital Live Well offer, so wherever you are you can easily find support close to home.
Together, these locations are creating a network of support across Stockport and online. Whether you pop into Stockroom or visit your local Family Hub, we’ll help you find the right support and connect you to the people and services who can help.
Signposting support is available and covers all areas of everyday life, including health and wellbeing, money and cost of living, housing, work and learning, family and relationships, staying independent, feeling safe and connected, and getting involved in your community and local events.
As well as local spaces, the Live Well directory brings together support in one place online, helping residents easily find the right information, advice and services.
The launch event took place at Offerton Library, showcasing how libraries are already supporting communities. Groups such as the Tuesday Club offer a warm and welcoming space for people to connect, take part in activities and build friendships, helping reduce loneliness and support wellbeing.
Cllr Dan Oliver, Cabinet Member for Communities, Culture and Sport
We want everyone in Stockport to be able to find the right help, in the right place, at the right time. That is what Live Well is all about. By bringing this approach into our libraries and rolling it out across our leisure centres, Cornerstone and other community spaces over the coming months, we are making it easier for residents to get support wherever they are and know they will receive the same level of help wherever they go.
Live Well is about helping people earlier and building stronger communities so everyone in Stockport can live healthier, happier lives. I encourage residents to visit their local Live Well space or explore what is available online and see what is on offer for them.
David, member of the Tuesday Club
I’m local and I just found out about the Tuesday Club and have been coming for the past couple of weeks, it gives me something to look forward to and it’s been a great opportunity to meet new people.
Judith, member of the Tuesday club
We all have a good catch up, a brew and a giggle and we learn things. It’s a good group.
More Live Well spaces will be added across the borough, to the network in the coming weeks.
Residents can find out more about Live Well Spaces, local support and opportunities, including community funding, by visiting our Live Well pages.
