At today’s full Council meeting the Strategic Director for People, Lorraine Sanda, gave an update on the progress of the Wellbeing Hub project. The members were informed that a Joint Project Team has been formed for the Wellbeing Hub and Lochies School projects as per the new Governance Structure which had been presented at Council in February 2023. Updates were also given around the ranges of visits to comparable projects that the team have been making – these have included leisure facilities, schools for children and young people with additional support needs, community venues that have integrated school and leisure facilities and to a newly constructed primary school in Perth which has been built to full Passivhaus Certification standards. All of the learning from these visits is supporting the development of the Project Brief alongside the outputs from the Briefing and Evaluation Framework. Alongside these visits officers have continued engagement and awareness raising of the project through presentations and in person sessions across a range of stakeholders including; the Clackmannanshire Alliance, Clackmannanshire Third Sector Interface (CTSi), CTSI Volunteer Managers Forum, CTSi Community Breakfast, Community Justice Forum and Clackmannanshire Sports Council.
