The Leader presented a report of the Director of Neighbourhoods and Development updating the Cabinet on the work of the South Ribble Together Community Hub.

The South Ribble Together Community Hub was set up in March this year as a direct response to the COVID-19 pandemic.  Staff from across the Council were brought together to engage with and support vulnerable residents.  The feedback from residents had been extremely positive and had lead to positive outcomes for South Ribble communities. 

The work of the Community Hub would continue through partnership working to ensure the model is sustainable in the future.

Cabinet raised the impact of mental health as a result of the pandemic as a concern with the Council working to support this important issue with its partners.
