Plans have been submitted to create a 24/7 mental health hub in a former bank building, as part of an NHS pilot scheme.
Whitehaven Community Trust Limited has applied for permission to turn the former Halifax branch on King Street, Whitehaven, into the Hope Haven centre.
It comes after NHS England announced the pilot to expand mental health services in the area and bring different services under one roof.
“The hub will provide drop-in support, 1:1 consultations, group therapy and sessions focused on physical health, fitness, health promotion and shared learning,” planning documents submitted to Cumberland Council said.
