Stigma breaking Springfield Village

By 2027 this will see Springfield Village transformed into a vibrant new community with mental health at its heart.

The new Trinity and Shaftesbury buildings will sit in Chapel Square, at the heart of Springfield Village. This square will soon be home to a number of shops and cafés including a new restaurant and a gym and surrounded by over 800 new homes, many of which are affordable. Springfield Village is also home to a care home and has space for a school.

Alongside this, a new 32-acre park will begin to open from summer 2023 and will eventually feature a pavilion café, an amphitheatre, youth shelter, play areas, sensory garden, trim trail and much more.

For too long, large parts of NHS mental health services have been isolated from the communities they serve, reflecting outdated, stigma-laden attitudes to mental ill health.
