University Hospital Southampton has opened a staff and Wellbeing Hub, to deliver a much-needed area that includes a free-to-use staff gym, meeting spaces and café. The project has been made possible with proceeds from the auction of Banksy’s artwork, Game Changer.
The café has a focus on healthy, affordable, nutritious, delicious food and drink – such as salads and made to order fruit smoothies with a emphasis on breakfast, lunch and grab and go food. Social enterprise Change Please coffee and hot beverages will also be served.
Andrew Jones, One Retail managing director, commented: “We all know NHS staff go above and beyond, working long hours on busy shifts. This area is a truly unique facility. We are so proud to be part of it, delivering the sentiment of wellbeing with our integral food and drink offers.
“It has been a privilege to work on such an exciting and market leading project, with our partner at Southampton. I hope everyone working at the hospital enjoys this space to the benefit of their health.”
Compass has partnered within University Hospital Southampton since 2016 and this project is in addition to the 24-hour Costa Coffee, M&S and M&S Café and Subway that operate within the main building of the hospital for staff, visitors and patients.
