We believe that strong, engaged communities are essential to promoting health, wellbeing, and social connection. Through our Community Engagement and Development initiatives, we aim to foster meaningful partnerships, encourage active participation, and create opportunities for local people to shape the services that support them.

Our approach focuses on building relationships, empowering individuals, and enhancing access to community resources, ensuring that Stocksbridge and the Upper Don remains a place where people can thrive. By working closely with residents, organisations, and local leaders, we facilitate inclusive, community-led development that addresses both immediate and long-term needs.

Through this work, Stocksbridge Community Leisure Centre continues to serve as a hub for community-driven change, reinforcing the power of collaboration, engagement, and shared purpose in building a healthier, more connected society.

By strengthening relationships between individuals and local services, our Community Engagement and Development programme supports long-term wellbeing and resilience, ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to participate, contribute, and thrive.
