The new Bury NeighbourHub has opened in the Millgate shopping centre, having moved from its previous location and expanded its offer.
The new NeighbourHub brings help with training and employment, life skills, and wellbeing support closer to local people in Bury.
It gives residents the opportunities to learn new skills, improve their confidence, get online and access help into work, making it easier to improve their prospects and build a brighter future.
The Bury NeighbourHub is a key part of Greater Manchester's Live Well approach, making it easier for residents to access joined-up support, skills, employment and wellbeing services in one convenient community location. By bringing partners together under one roof, it helps people get the right support at the right time, improving opportunities and outcomes for local people.
Bury Council has said that service providers can help with health, wellbeing, or general advice about services from both the Council, as well as other services from other providers, with examples including:
- Ingeus providing employment and skills support including for young people and ex-offenders and helping people manage physical and mental health conditions
- Growth Company, a social enterprise that provides employment, training, and business support services
- The Greater Manchester In-Work Progression Service to help people who are already working but stuck in low-paid, insecure, or part-time jobs move into better roles and increase their earning
- Bury Adult Learning providing courses leading to qualifications, community classes and employability training
- NHS partners
- Citizens Advice Service
- Social care, support if you are renting privately
- Bury Care Academy dedicated to supporting, training, and growing the adult social care sector across the borough.
- Digital inclusion services
Councillor Gavin McGill, Cabinet Member for Culture, Economy and Skills said: “I was really pleased to be at the Neighbourhub launch, it was really busy, really vibrant, and a really impressive venue.
“This is more than just a new location; it's a place where residents can access joined-up support, guidance and opportunities that can make a real difference to their lives. If anyone out there has any need of the services, pop along, you'll get all the help you need for a better life, its a brilliant place.”
