Healthy Hub North Herts, a free health and wellbeing service, is now back to doing what it does best – helping residents get back on track with their healthy lifestyle.

In recent months the Hub has focused on supporting individuals to access food, medication and financial support during the coronavirus pandemic. However, as things are slowly starting to return to normal, the Healthy Hub is now back to supporting residents with their general health and wellbeing issues.

Following the Government’s announcement that outdoor water parks can reopen from 11 July, unfortunately we need to make residents aware that it will not be possible to reopen any of our splash parks in Baldock, Hitchin and Royston, or the paddling pool at Howard Park in Letchworth with such short notice. To recommission the facilities, ensure sufficient attendants are available and carry out the numerous operational tasks required to open them, will take significantly longer than one working day.

The registered charity Phase has been awarded £1925 by North Hertfordshire District Council’s (NHDC) Hitchin Committee at its meeting on 30 June.

Phase was established in 2002 and supports the development of wellbeing in young people aged 5-18. The organisation prides itself on being there for young people, to provide support, encouragement and to equip them for life.

Unfortunately we will not be reopening any of our playgrounds or outdoor gym equipment on 4 July. The health and safety of our residents and visitors is our priority and therefore we need time to consider the practical implications of the recently issued Government guidance on reopening. It is however our intention to reopen as soon as practical and we would like to thank you for your understanding during these challenging times. Please keep an eye on our website and social media channels for further updates.
