"A Grade-II listed building is set to open as a health and wellbeing centre next month after a 2.2m renovation project. St Dunstan's House in Glastonbury will provide a venue for community activities including talking and pain cafes, healthy lifestyle courses, and health and wellbeing sessions for current and former members of the armed forces. It will also host health and wellbeing group consultations for people with chronic conditions such as diabetes or heart problems."
"St Dunstan's House was restored using 1.5m of funding from the Glastonbury Town Deal alongside 500,000 from the Ministry of Housing, Community and Local Governments Community Ownership Fund. Further donations were made by local trusts including Glastonbury Festival and Glastonbury and District Mencap. The centre is set to contribute towards delivering care in the community rather than hospital settings, with its running paid for in part by businesses who pay to hire the space."
