Healthy Living
The award winning cyrenians community centre is a unique project which has received
plaudits from all over the UK for its ground breaking approach to tackling
health and lifestyle barriers to training and employment. It has been considered
a beacon project by the Welsh European Funding Office and the Heritage
Lottery Fund, both of whom provide financial support. It has also attracted
frequent attention from politicians and decision-makers as a model for
regeneration of landmark buildings for community use.
Some 650 day-time members have signed up since opening, benefiting from the healthy café, receiving medical support and sign-posting to services, participating in activities such as yoga, get cooking classes and IT training, and generating initiatives like the 9 Carrots Food Co-operative.
Medical Advice and Help
The medical unit at the community centre provides access to health
care for vulnerable individuals. It is all too common for people who
are homeless not to be registered with a GP and therefore leave
potentially harmful medical conditions unchecked.
The community centre offers access to a doctor, a nurse and a podiatrist and can advise individuals on general health, nutrition and if required, refer on to specialist care.
