Wellbeing at Garon Park is a new venture that has been set up by the people of Southend for the residents of Southend. Our aim is to make our nineteen acre site available to residents and visitors so they can use the facilities to improve their health and wellbeing.

We are almost ready to open our doors and are looking for local people to help us through our:

Meeters, Greeters and Befrienders
Can you help others at Garon Park

Wellbeing at Garon Park is a special place that offers residents of Southend a beautiful retreat in the heart of Southend. This new venture has been set up by the people of Southend for the residents of Southend. Our aim is to make our 19 acre site available to residents and visitors so they can use the facilities to improve their health and wellbeing.

We are almost ready to open our doors and are looking for local people to help us.

We want to engage with our local community and help them to use the site, welcoming them to site and helping them to find the services and areas they want to engage with is hugely important. A bit like the Olympic “Games Makers” who helped make the 2012 games happen, our “Meeters, Greeters and Befrienders” will be critical to the success of Garon Park, welcoming and supporting our visitors to provide them with the best experience.

We would love you to be part of the team, so why not come and talk to us about what you can bring and when you are available. See contact details below:
