Shelby is undertaking an Employer’s Agent role on the redevelopment of Fleetwood Hospital into a community hub.
Fleetwood is a coastal town in Lancashire. The Fleetwood Trust, a registered charity, purchased Fleetwood Hospital, a building which lay largely unused for more than a decade. The Trust's objective is to provide a much-need facility for the local community.
The Pantry, which is the new home of Fleetwood Foodbank, became the first community service officially opened at Fleetwood Hospital in October 2020. A nationally accredited volunteer centre is now also operating from the building.
Future proposed tenants include a regional housing and maintenance group, charity partners, higher education and health and well-being training providers.
The trust’s vision is also to have the following facilities open for the local community:
- Café and teaching kitchen
- Co-working spaces
- Multi-purpose studios
- Meeting rooms and offices
- Educational and training facilities
- Garden
