Empowering Healthy Lives and Stronger Commmunities
Who We Are
ShipShape Community Hub is an established, community-led organisation working across health, community, and community development to reduce inequalities and improve outcomes for underserved communities. Since 2006, we have evolved from a small volunteer-led project into a well-respected local hub.
Today, ShipShape operates as a trusted “one-stop hub” based in our welcoming premises in Sheffield. We are proud to have a dedicated team of experienced staff and trained volunteers who bring a wealth of knowledge, skills, and lived experience to support our community.
Who We Do
We deliver a wide range of preventative health, wellbeing, and community development services, that are accessible, community-led services offering both free and low-cost support through group sessions, one-to-one interventions, and outreach activities across local neighbourhoods. Including one-to-one health & wellbeing coach support, chronic pain management, physical activity sessions, healthy lifestyle programmes, diabetes & health Programmes, peer support groups, and community engagement activities. Our approach goes beyond health by supporting individuals to build confidence, develop skills, and become more connected within their communities. Our services are designed to be accessible, culturally appropriate, and responsive to the needs of all communities, particularly those who face barriers to accessing mainstream services. Through strong partnership working with local and city wide organisations, Gp’s and community engagement, we reach individuals who are often underserved, including people living with long-term conditions, those experiencing social isolation, and communities from diverse ethnic backgrounds. Our work focuses on prevention, early intervention, and community development—supporting individuals to improve their health, strengthen social connections, build resilience, and reduce reliance on crisis services.
