General
Jan Cutting Healthy Living Centre and Wellbeing Hub
The Centre is a vibrant community hub in the heart of the west of the city and offers an innovative approach which inspires and empowers local people to transform their lives. We continue to work with the most vulnerable in our communities, those who are isolated, facing mental ill health or those who are lacking confidence or skills. Typically, we are engaging with those with multiple complex needs, are on a longer journey of support or are becoming involved with our community centres and activities for the first time. From support with bills, building long-term financial resilience, improving emotional or physical health or gaining skills and qualifications to access employment, our Hub based colleagues and partners are here to help.
As a commissioned partner within the Plymouth City Council Wellbeing Hub strategy, we are a part of a collaborative, integrated and strategic system response that ultimately delivers against key outcomes for Plymouth and the Western CCG for whole population health and wellbeing. The Plymouth City Council commission provides us with funding towards dedicated Wellbeing Hub Advisors, Nicki, Marie and Julie who provide direct support to those in need in our community as well as facilitating community events, activities and partnerships.

Wolseley Hub
The Wolseley Hub is as a subsidiary resource to our Jan Cutting Healthy Living Centre and is managed by our Community and Wellbeing Manager Nicki Chinnock. Through our community based and Primary Care services we currently work with an active network of over 200 support organisations and groups across Plymouth. We can connect people to support services and make sure that anyone affected gets the help they need – mental health support, health and wellbeing, support for their families, as well as specialist trauma-related support.
In August 2021 we were all left in shock and deeply distressed by the tragic Keyham incident. Through 2023 and 2024 this community Hub has continued to play a pivotal role in supporting our communities and has established activities and services which include dedicated support groups. For example, we are a founding partner of the Keyham Trauma Informed Network which continues to meet at the hub every month. We secured funding through POP to continue to deliver these sessions to local community representatives. We now have 12 regular attendees. This enables the network to support the local community through a Trauma Informed lens.
We also supported with the Keyham bomb incident where we became an Evacuation Point in the immediate aftermath of the discovery before The Beacon and The Life Centre were set up. We supported 5 different community members and their families who had to leave their properties – with food, information and a place of safety whilst the full plan was executed. We continued to support the operation over the next six days by offering Wolseley Community Hub as a ‘comfort station’ to D&C Police and national teams of Police Officers as they were drafted in from further afield. We were approached by PCC to provide further community-based support to those directly affected – the homeowner and the neighbouring properties over the following weeks. We were able to deliver food support as well as emotional support through our Counselling Service.
Keyham Counselling Service
Established in the wake of the Keyham tragedy the Wolseley Community Hub is proud to offer a trauma Counselling Service to those impacted by the Keyham tragedy. Co-funded with Plymouth City Council, the service offers individual therapy sessions, delivered by our trauma trained counsellor Dinah who is committed to providing compassionate and supportive care. The service has continued to received referrals through 2023-2024.

Our Wolseley Hub-based Compassionate Café continues to thrive, attracting new members through referrals from the Healthy Futures Team and local GPs. We now have approximately 25 regular attendees. Sessions are facilitated by our Wellbeing Hub Advisor, Marie, with regular guest organisations like Plymouth Energy Community and Southwest Water sharing valuable information and advice.
Group members are taking the initiative to organise their own social activities outside of the Café, such as monthly meals, outings to Dartmoor Prison and the Devonport Heritage Museum, and even a five-day holiday to Eastbourne!
In the Summer we were involved in a ‘Community Values’ project with College Road School. Our Compassionate Café attendees gave their ideas as to what community values were important to them, these were then made into graphics and displayed at the school. We supported the ‘Poppy Campaign’ where members of our Compassionate Café made poppies during their support sessions for the display outside of the Council House.

To share the bounty, members have brought delicious treats like blackberry muffins and apple crumble to the weekly
gatherings. Sustainability is at the heart of our group. We've introduced composting bins to reduce waste and enrich our soil. Any surplus produce is generously donated to local groups and food banks, ensuring that our efforts benefit the entire community.

Plymouth Cancer Champions is a 3-year project funded by Macmillan Cancer Support in collaboration with The Wolseley Trust, Age UK and Zebra Collective.
At the heart of the Plymouth Cancer Champions Project is a mission to raise cancer awareness, provide compassionate support, and empower our community through connection and education. The team, trained in trauma-informed care and solution-focused approaches, is working closely with local organizations, faith groups, and individuals to create a network of Cancer Champions—dedicated volunteers who act as “Community Connectors.”
Through initiatives like our Cake and Cuppa Sessions, community events, and tailored social prescribing, we’re breaking down barriers to support and offering people a safe space to talk, share, and learn. Our Social Prescriber has already made meaningful connections, with life-changing feedback such as: “You’ve given me permission to recover.”
With vibrant partnerships, outreach efforts, and innovative programs like cancer cafés, we’re fostering inclusivity, kindness, and hope. Together, we’re building a stronger, more resilient Plymouth community, where no one faces cancer alone.
Join us—follow our journey, attend an event, or become a Cancer Champion!

Based in Stonehouse, the Community Health and Wellbeing project is a collaboration with Waterside Health Network that takes a grassroots approach to supporting families with their health and wellbeing within their homes and local area. The programme’s unique concept, ensures that the CHWW’s (Community Health and Wellbeing Workers) visit residents within their own home at least once a month, acting as a link to Primary Care, ensuring the family unit are supported with any social, mental or physical health needs.
Building on a model that is now embedded into Brazil’s Family Health Strategy, the CHWW programme is a systematic, universal, comprehensive and integrated approach that is designed to build strong relationships with the local community to enable health needs are proactively met. With the CHWW’s being integrated into primary care, they can link effectively with relevant services to help promote vaccinations, screenings and management of chronic diseases. Alongside this, as local members of the community they support, the CHWW’s are able to encourage social engagements and link residents with voluntary and community sector organisations.
Our team of Saryah, Miranda and Matt are passionate advocates for their local community, embodying a person-centred, ‘what matters to you?’ approach and are already seeing the positive ripple effect of the programme.

Wolseley Trust Annual Fun Day
Our Annual Fun Day was held on Saturday 24th June 2017, it went very well and was enjoyed by all who attended (even though the weather wasn't on our side to start with). The day had lots of fun activities including; a bouncy castle, tabletop sales, mini-games, Armed Forces themed dress up, refreshments, live music (North Prospect Choir and The Baracoodas) and a raffle - thanks to all who kindly donated a prize to us this year. Mayflower Nursery - Mrs Tickle and some of the Nursery children came along to help with our Hook-A-Duck game which everyone enjoyed. We were also joined by Rob from Dartmoor Search and Rescue who brought along two of his search dogs (Honey and Toohey), one of which was in the training stage. In the afternoon two local PCSO's, Andrew and Rose, were able to take time out from their busy schedule to visit us with a police car, which went down very well with the chilldren! We would also like to thank the Healthwatch Team who came along with a mascot which was fantastic, the people of our local community who attended with items to sell, and of course to our tenents of courtyard 2 who kindly moved all of their vehicles to allow us to use the space for the day.
Please see some of the picture taken on the day below.

Based in the Jan Cutting Healthy Living Centre, our community café is the heart of our Hub. The venue provides a friendly and welcoming atmosphere which helps us to promote ‘community’ and the importance of coming together. The cost-of-living crisis has impacted our community hard, and the café has played an important role in providing a safe, warm space with affordable, nutritious options.
Our Cafe manager, Nicki, encourages anyone who feels lonely or worried about rising bills to visit our café. With the cost of living continuing to rise, it's very important that we can offer people within our community a safe environment with heating and refreshments and the opportunity to find out more about the broader services and activities in the Centre which are available for further support.
Our Café continues to serve as its own a hub for health initiatives and wellness programs. By providing a welcoming and accessible space, the café can foster healthy lifestyles, promote community engagement, and address local health disparities. For example, during the year we launched Food is Fun’ free cooking sessions with all sessions fully booked with waiting lists! These sessions were focusing on cooking on a budget and participants ate what they prepared and took a meal home with them too. We had referrals from PATH, Trevi, local schools as well as local community members attending these sessions.
The Café continues to provide valuable employment, training, and opportunities for volunteers to gain experience in food preparation, customer service and cash handling.
In 2024 we have welcomed new colleagues, Maxine, Clarie and Emma to our catering team and celebrated a 5-star food hygiene rating!

Business Park News
The Importance of Workplace Biodiversity
In partnership with the Wolseley Trust, Pollenize launched a biodiversity monitoring project for 2023-24 aimed at enhancing the site's native wildflower patches and continued monitoring of plant and insect species on site. Green spaces in business parks offer more than aesthetic value—they play a crucial role in supporting biodiversity, improving air quality, and creating a pleasant environment for employees and visitors. Projects like Floradex demonstrate how businesses can actively contribute to local conservation efforts while reaping the benefits of a healthier and more vibrant environment.
