Links Healthy Living Centre

Links Healthy Living Centre opened in September 2002 with a five-year lottery grant from the Big Lottery Fund (Formerly the New Opportunity Fund). The purpose built centre was built when Ellesmere Port Civic Hall underwent a reburbishment. Since then the centre has received mainstream funding from Western Cheshire Primary Care Trust (PCT) and Cheshire West and Chester Council. The centre is a bright, airy building which consists of a main area, children's area, small meeting room and purpose built teaching kitchen.

Hire Charges

The centre is available to hire, but availability is limited due to the number of services already running. If you are interested in hiring the centre please complete the proposal form which can be downloaded here . Your application will be discussed at the next Links HLC Management Board meeting. Successful applicants will then be asked to complete the room hire pack which can be downloaded here.

Main Area

The main area of the centre is a relatively large area that will hold a maximum of 30 people. The area can be partially screened off, but will still be in use as the reception desk, toilets and leaflet racks will still be in use by other centre users. In this respect it is not ideal for private or confidential groups. This area may be available on it's own out of the general centre opening hours.
