Netherton Feelgood Factory

Who we are

The Netherton Feelgood Factory was founded in 1999 and moved into a new purpose-built centre in 2004.  Since then we have worked in more deprived Sefton neighbourhoods to improve lives and promote health. The organisation uses a community development approach to enable local people to improve their health, well being and quality of life. The Feelgood Factory objectives are to reduce health inequalities by:

• Improving access to services and information,
• Developing and providing activities and services to encourage healthier lifestyles, improve health and wellbeing and prevent illness,
• Developing initiatives to meet local needs.

From a small organisation, the Feelgood Factory has developed to a medium-sized charity operating throughout Sefton but with a concentration in the more deprived areas of the south of the borough. We provide services for all sections of the community according to need. Currently we provide the following:

• Individual health and wellbeing support for individuals in Sefton
• Mental health support and workshops to promote coping strategies
• Food and nutrition training
• Programmes for older people and the socially isolated.
• Practical community services.
