The Good Stuff Project is a response to the health and social changes being experienced in the aftermath of Covid, together with the opportunities presented through Wincanton’s town consultation and proposed regeneration activity. This is an exciting new project which will combine the activity of the Balsam Centre to reduce health and social inequalities, with that of other statutory agencies, local partners and local people.

Wincanton Town Council, together with its partners, consulted extensively pre-Covid, to discover what local people think and feel about living in Wincanton and what they would like to see for its future. Good Stuff brings together elements of this thinking in respect of people’s daily lives, their personal ambitions and their vision for the town, highlighting the need for social, skills and employment opportunities and development. We need someone special to work directly with beneficiaries and bring this thinking and opportunity to life.

This is a new role which will involve connecting and working with individuals, groups and partner organisations across the town.To connect with people who are socially and/or economically isolated, to help them make connections with others, establish social networks, develop skills for life and employment, and contribute to the life and social regeneration of Wincanton.

Participants will be encouraged and supported to contribute to the social, cultural and economic activity of the town and its environmental sustainability.

The post holder will be responsible for providing practical support at different levels and for creating the culture and environment to enable individuals and families to achieve different health, social, employment, or environmental goals.
