Healthy and Innovative º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ

The Healthy and Innovative º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ project aims to create jobs, support new businesses, and make local people healthier.

Funded by a £2.46 million grant from º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ Town Deal, the project will use the University's reputation and expertise in sports, research, entrepreneurship, and knowledge creation to:

Attract new sporting organisations to º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ.
Support local people with business ideas, entrepreneurship and overall growth.
Encourage local residents to live active and healthy lives.
Improve transport connectivity between the train station, town centre, and º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ Science and Enterprise Park.
Measure the success of Town Deal projects to make sure they’re delivering real, measurable benefits to local people.
