Workbridge is closing

We are sorry to announce the upcoming closure of Workbridge.

After many years of providing vocational opportunities and training for people with mental health needs, St Andrew’s Healthcare has made the difficult decision to close Workbridge. This includes our:

  • Café
  • Garden centre
  • Charity shop
  • Creative studios
  • Retail cabins
  • All education-related services

The health food shop, Daily Bread, will continue to lease the building from St Andrew’s.

Workbridge was created to offer vocational opportunities and training for people with mental health needs. Over the years, our staff and volunteers have done an outstanding job and made a real difference to people in the community and to patients.

Why Workbridge is closing

Sadly, Workbridge is no longer financially sustainable. Despite many efforts to make it viable, it has been concluded that its closure is the only option, allowing St Andrew's Healthcare to focus their resources on hospital care.

St Andrew's Healthcare's Northampton patients will have access to vocational support and training through the hospital’s on-site workshops, cafés, music & arts facilities, and gardens.

When this will take place

  • Workbridge Retail will remain open until 23 December 2025
  • Workbridge Education will continue until existing contracts are fulfilled
  • There are no immediate plans for the site and it will remain permanently closed under St Andrew’s management

Get in touch

We are incredibly proud of everything that has been achieved at Workbridge. If you have any question and would like to get in touch with us, please email communications@stah.org.

Thank you for your kindness, your custom, and your ongoing support.
