Largest UK healthy living centre opened

The United Kingdom's largest healthy living centre, the Sunlight Centre, was opened on 16 April.

A pharmacy is one of a large number of services offered by the centre at Gillingham, Kent. Among the others are a medical practice, alternative therapy and counselling rooms, a family centre, a multi-use hall, a children's nursery and offices for a number of charities.

The centre is home to over 60 resident-led support groups, community health teams, social workers and voluntary sector staff.

The multi-million pound development was funded by a lottery award, Medway Council, the North Kent Gateway Partnership and Medway Primary Care Trust.
