Last year, we as your Besses Labour councillors surveyed you on the future of this building. You told us you wanted something for families, something that had a health focus and a place for the community to be together in Besses.

Today, we’re celebrating exactly that with the opening of our new Live Well Centre in Whitefield on Albert Road.

Come down to explore the space and chat to the staff at the centre to find out about what’s on at the building!

📍 Whitefield Live Well Centre, Albert Road
🕐 Open every weekday, 9am–5pm (cafe open 10.30am–2.30pm)

The Whitefield Live Well Centre will host its Family Fun Day on 16th August 12pm-3pm. Come down to see the new community centre right in the heart of Besses!

We’re excited to finally see the centre open after campaigning for the building to be kept in public use.

A bit of a summer round-up ☀️

As we’re heading into council recess (our summer break), the work doesn’t stop. Over the last few months, we’ve been making the most of the great things that are happening in Besses – allotment open days, litter picks, some campaigning for GM Mayor, and of course, picking up issues for residents.

We’ll share some exciting news on the Live Well Centre that we successfully campaigned tomorrow (which you may have already seen) 👀
