A31 Community Wellbeing Hub

The A31 Community Wellbeing Hub is an initiative by 5 General Practice Surgeries, all linked by the A31 (hence the title), to enable their patient communities access to a space to interact with a variety of organisations that can assist in providing specialist support or useful information across a wide range of topics.

The Hub will be run on a drop in basis where people can find out ore or share experiences or knowledge in a relaxed and social atmosphere.
