Wellbeing Towers Middlesbrough

Wellbeing Places has a vision of always putting people first, with the purpose of developing places which contribute positively to whole communities by enhancing; adding to; and using existing local assets,

inspiration, and potential, to create new spaces that promote people's health, happiness, and wellbeing and reduce social isolation and loneliness.

It is no coincidence that those parts of the UK whose residents have the lowest levels of health and wellbeing have the highest levels of relative deprivation and loneliness. In fact, Middlesbrough has the highest proportion of neighbourhoods in a larger area that are in the most deprived 10 per cent of neighbourhoods in the country.*

Utilising a wide body of accepted empirical evidence we have arrived at a concept for the town centre of Middlesbrough which has a direct, long lasting, impact on 3 of the 7 domains of deprivation (Health; Living

Environment; and Barriers to Housing & Services), as well as positive impacts on the remaining 4 (Income; Employment; Education and Crime).

We are doing this through the provision of innovative town centre homes and office buildings brought together in the unique landscape led inclusive public setting of our proposed Winter Gardens, all of which are designed to promote improved health outcomes, both preventative and rehabilitative, and enhance happiness, joy and wellbeing for users, residents and  visitors. We will provide spaces which engender a sense of belonging and connection to; and integration with, both the immediate community and the wider community beyond.
