New health and wellbeing service rolled out in Hemel Hempstead after £1MILLION investment

Healthy Hubs are dedicated local venues where people can get services, support and advice all in one place, making it easier to get help with a range of physical and mental health issues.

A spokesman said: "Whether it’s stop smoking services, help to lose weight, mental health support, encouragement to get more active or even advice on how to cut down on your drinking - your Healthy Hub can help you."

All Hubs will be open by Spring 2020, welcoming people of all ages who need a little bit of advice and support to improve their health and wellbeing.

Hertfordshire County Council’s cabinet member for public health and prevention, Tim Hutchings said: “The Healthy Hubs are part of our District Partnership programme, through which we have already invested £2.3million into health and wellbeing services across the county over the last five years.

“This new initiative will see a further £1million invested over the next two years to enable each district to establish a Healthy Hub in their area, making it easier for people to pop in and get the friendly, professional one-to-one support they need to improve their health and wellbeing.”

The Hubs that will be opening in the next three months are:

- Dacorum

- East Hertfordshire

- Broxbourne

- Stevenage (Young People's Hub - the adult Hub is already open)

- Watford

- Welwyn and Hatfield (virtual Hub)

- South Oxhey
