What are the Plymouth Wellbeing Hubs? Advice, Activities & Community Support with Emma Corkery

Emma Corkery, Programme Lead for the Plymouth Wellbeing Hub network, breaks down why these local centres are so crucial for the health and vitality of the city. Emma explains that the Hubs are far more than just buildings—they are a network of community-based organisations offering a wide range of support, from welfare advice and mental health support to physical activities and social groups like the famous “Knackered Knees” craft group! Learn how the Hubs combat social isolation (which is as detrimental to health as smoking!) and provide a vital “prevention end” service that leads to long-lasting positive change for individuals and their families.

Key Takeaways:

• Hubs are open to everyone in the community, regardless of crisis level.

• They act as a single access point, where one visit for advice can connect you with dozens of beneficial opportunities.

• The Hubs are a collaborative, city-wide network under Plymouth’s Public Health Thrive initiative.

• Discover how the work leads to life-changing outcomes, including volunteering and employment.

“This is not a nice to have, this is an essential.” – Emma Corkery
