This £34 million development in the town’s Civic Quarter was designed by ArchitecturePLB and with Ubu landscape.  Funded by Worthing Borough Council, the new centre brings together a range of health and care services under one roof and will co-locate a pharmacy, community services, and a GP practice alongside mental health teams, enabling more joined-up care. Its proximity to the town hall, library, and crisis café will further improve access to wider support for the local community.

This is the culmination of a long-term aspiration to make the most of this underutilised brownfield site in a highly accessible location in the middle of Worthing, as well as to deliver long overdue improvements to health care provision in Worthing.
