Former CRI Chapel to provide health and wellbeing support services for local residents
Refurbishments are underway to transform the former Chapel at Cardiff Royal Infirmary into a vibrant health and wellbeing facility for the residents in the south and east of Cardiff.
The iconic grade II listed building, will become home to health and wellbeing information and advice, a new library, meeting spaces, IT suite and an Aroma Café. Despite the ongoing pandemic, work is progressing at a good pace with the building scheduled to open to the public spring next year.
Staff, patients visiting clinics at CRI, along with families, young people and adults in the community, will benefit from a range of facilities and services including the use of a shared flexible space where they can access support services from partner agencies.
The development will provide a model for future community projects across Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan, implemented through the Shaping Our Future Wellbeing: In Our Community Infrastructure Programme, aimed at improving the health and wellbeing of our communities.
Funding for the refurbishment and remodelling has been provided by the Welsh Government's Integrated Care Fund (ICF), Cardiff and Vale UHB and Cardiff Council and is being delivered in partnership between Cardiff and Vale UHB, the Integrated Health and Social Care Partnership, Cardiff Council, and Third Sector Partners.
