Community health partnership organisations

We have compiled a list of health related organisations which work across North Somerset. These organisations work in partnership with the public to help improve health services across the area. See their individual websites to find out more. 

We are one of 13 health and care organisations that make up Healthier Together – our local Sustainability and Transformation Partnership (STP).

Healthier Together represents a commitment to improving health and care in North Somerset, Bristol and South Gloucestershire. It is about tackling the issues that matter most and finding ways to continue providing safe, high-quality care for generations to come.

We have involved our communities in helping us to shape our plans and will continue to listen and work with local people, staff and the voluntary sector as we progress towards a more integrated approach to delivering health and care in North Somerset, Bristol and South Gloucestershire.

Healthwatch is an independent customer champion created to represent the views of the public. It plays a role, nationally and locally, making sure the views of health services users are considered.

The Male Health Stakeholder Group wants to raise awareness of health services as well as social and active opportunities available to men in North Somerset.

We’ve put together a list of stakeholders in the group who offer either a gendered approach to health improvement, or activities aimed specifically at men.

Men's sheds

Men’s sheds are community spaces for men to connect, converse and create. The activities are often similar to those of garden sheds, but for groups of men to enjoy together. They help reduce loneliness and isolation, but most importantly, they’re fun.

Nailsea Shedders

Nailsea Shedders is part of a community of men’s sheds formed in 2014.

Although known as a men’s shed, around 20% of their members are women.

They are located in Nailsea but serve neighbouring parishes such as Clevedon, Yatton, Backwell, Long Ashton, Brockley and Chelvey.

Nailsea Shedders aim to address the social, health and wellbeing needs of our members, to help improve self-esteem and enable them to use, practice and gain skills.

Clevedon Men’s Shed

Clevedon Men’s Shed is a small and friendly group who work on woodworking projects. They meet every Tuesday from 9am to 1pm at The Stables just behind the Clevedon Community Centre.

A smaller group also helps the amateur dramatic club scenery builders with stage props on Wednesday mornings.

The group is very informal and is assisted by a small steering group of three facilitators.

Oasis For Men

Oasis was set up to help reduce the isolation of men in Weston-super-Mare by giving mutual friendship, support and advice.

Oasis is a group of local people from all walks of life that wish to help each other, or other people address the full range of challenges that life can suddenly present.

Professional sign-posting is given where necessary to make sure members get the full support they need.
