Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Foundation Trust has agreed a 15-year, unbroken lease to secure just over 13,000 sq ft of new outpatient clinical space and office accommodation at the multi-award-winning Dean Clough destination in Halifax.
The new space provides state of the art facilities for NHS Community services in Calderdale, supporting its Amputee Outpatient Service, Bladder and Bowel Outpatient Service, Lymphoedema Outpatient Service, Podiatry Outpatient clinics, Community Therapies, Urgent Community Response (UCR), and District Nursing Hubs.
Community Services at Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Foundation Trust occupy 5,722 sq ft on the ground floor as well as 7,511 sq ft on the 4th floor of the recently renovated Bowling Mill at Dean Clough. The consolidated services are in the process of moving from Beechwood Medical Centre and Calderdale Royal Hospital.
Jenny Clark, Director of Operations for Community Services at Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Foundation Trust, said:
“We are delighted to secure new accommodation in this fantastic space at Dean Clough. Bowling Mill provides us with a fantastic environment to better support the needs of our patients with purpose-designed spaces for therapies, at the heart of the Halifax community.
“The refurbishment makes the most out of the original Victorian mill building features and natural light which can boost mood, and improve the wellbeing and experience of patients, and colleagues.
“Thank you to all colleagues and patients who have been involved in making the move so successful. I would also like to say thank you to the landlord at Dean Clough Mills for being so supportive and accommodating throughout.”

We believe this breadth and diversity of amenity and cultural experience is hugely important to people and businesses alike. It fosters a sense of place, born and rooted in our community”.
“Through the ongoing investment to regenerate these magnificent mills to create characterful, efficient workspaces for the 21st century, we maintain a best practice approach to their reuse, supporting important ESG values with the indisputable carbon benefits of repurposing buildings.”
