Wimborne Health & Wellbeing Hub
Supporting Our Community’s Physical, Emotional & Social Health
Dorset Community Action’s Wimborne Community Centre has evolved into the Wimborne Health & Wellbeing Hub, a welcoming space designed to bring together a wide range of health and wellbeing services under one roof.
The hub provides access to services that support physical health, mental wellbeing, social connection, and community resilience. Whether you’re an individual looking for support, a group in need of space, or an organisation offering services, our hub offers a collaborative, inclusive environment for all ages, from young to older people.
We currently host a variety of regular public and VCSE-led services including:
- Substance addiction support services
- Youth services for those with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND)
- Mental health drop-in support
- Peer-led exercise, yoga and social wellbeing classes
- Access Wellbeing service sessions (NHS and VCSE partnership)
- Community meals, a food project, and social cooking sessions
With footfall reaching between 750–1000 people per week, we are proud to be a vibrant, flexible space that helps individuals and families in Wimborne connect with the right help at the right time.
Our vision is shaped by the NHS Long-Term Plan’s focus on delivering care within communities, so people can live the lives they wish to live, closer to home and surrounded by support.
