Reflections from partners:

“Events like this embody the spirit of Community Health Partnerships’ ‘Buildings at the Heart of the Community’ initiative. South Liverpool Treatment Centre isn’t just a place where people receive care—it's a place where the community comes together, learns, and feels supported. Bringing services, partners, and local residents together under one roof strengthens community wellbeing and demonstrates the real, everyday impact of our buildings in the lives of the people we serve.”

Denise Cottam Corporate Social Responsibility Delivery Manager, Community Health Partnerships

“South Liverpool Treatment Centre is the largest site within the Liverpool and Sefton Health Partnership portfolio, making it the ideal venue for this event. Its spacious waiting areas and excellent links to public transport meant we could welcome a wide range of visitors comfortably. We’re proud to support a centre that plays such a vital role in enabling community-focused health and wellbeing activities.”

Liverpool City Region Culture & Creativity Awards shortlisting

The lovely community garden which opened last year at our Princes Park Neighbourhood Health Centre project is shortlisted for the Environmental Award at the LCR Culture & Creativity awards.

The garden was partially funded by the Liverpool & Sefton Health Partnership, and is one of three shortlisted entries for this award which celebrates the impact culture and creativity has on the green agenda. The garden grows a variety of plants and vegetables and has been welcomed by the local community as a place which encourages wellbeing, supports biodiversity and utilises sustainable practices within its set up.

Good luck to the team behind the project, and Carolanne Morrison of Community Health Partnerships who made the submission. Winners will be announced at the awards ceremony in June 2026.

Mossley Hill Mental Health Facility reaches practical completion

We are pleased to confirm that our Mossley Hill project achieved practical completion at the end of August.

The magnificent new building, our biggest development project to date, is the third mental health facility we have successfully delivered on behalf of Mersey Care NHS Foundation Trust. After over a decade of planning and subsequent construction works, final preparations are now being made for the new building to open its doors.

Located on the 100-year-old Mossley Hill Hospital site, the new 80-bed facility will significantly elevate the quality of mental health care offered to Mersey residents by offering sensitively designed facilities to better assist treatment and recovery. gbp has provided project management services for this development, delivered through the Liverpool & Sefton Health Partnership (LSHP) LIFTco. We offer a huge thanks to our team and partners who have worked diligently to bring this project to its conclusion throughout various challenges including the COVID pandemic. We're looking forward to seeing the first patients being welcomed soon!
