Celebrating the continuing success of the Local Improvement Finance Trust (LIFT) initiative, the 3rd Annual LIFT Awards took place on Thursday 8th July at The London Hilton, Park Lane. The awards recognise the commitment, innovation and dedication of the LIFT industry in delivering high quality infrastructure and health services to local communities. We are delighted to be informed that two H&K LIFT schemes scooped awards on the night.

Winner of the ‘Tackling Health Inequalitities’ Award
Greater Nottingham LIFTCo - Clifton Cornerstone Joint Service Centre and Mary Potter Joint Service Centre
The new £14.5m Mary Potter Centre in Hyson Green will soon be opening its doors to the public. Phase one of the development on Gregory Boulevard has now been completed at a cost of £9m, following 14 months of building work. The joint access centre, the second in Nottingham city, is being developed by Greater Nottingham Local Improvement Finance Trust Company (LIFTCo) for Nottingham City Council and Nottingham Primary Care Trust (PCT) under a public private partnership agreement. When finished next year, it will house a range of Nottingham City Council, NHS, Nottingham City Homes and community services in one central location. Health services will be the first to benefit from the state-of-the-art facilities, with three GP practices and primary care health teams moving from the outdated health centre on the same site.
Clifton Cornerstone opened in April 2006. It was the first of the city's flagship Joint Service Centres and is located in the heart of Clifton. The centre on Southchurch Drive offers customers easy, convenient and local access to a range of NHS, Nottingham City Council, Nottingham City Homes and Community Services all under one roof. By providing a wide range of services in modern, purpose-built accommodation, Clifton Cornerstone and its staff are working to improve the health and well-being of local people. Our aim is to provide a friendly, efficient and inclusive service to all those living in the Clifton, Wilford and Silverdale area.
