The Buckinghamshire Community Wellbeing Hubs are a joint project between
Buckinghamshire Health and Social Care Academy (BHSCA) and
Buckinghamshire New University (BNU).
The objectives for the Hubs are to:
- Co-design and co-deliver physical Community Wellbeing hubs based at Buckinghamshire New University (BNU) campuses in Aylesbury and High Wycombe to benefit the learner and citizen populations.
- Create a physical space for health and social care professionals and Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise (VCSE) providers to collaborate and co-locate services to improve the health and wellbeing of citizens.
- Support student wellbeing and mental health through the hub, in complement with existing BNU wellbeing services.
- Provide opportunities for students to develop skills and gain work experience, including volunteering, placements, job shadowing, and training.
