Health and Wellbeing

In 2012, Manawatu Community Trust commenced planning and constructing the Feilding Health Care facility on Duke Street.

The construction was completed and opened in 2015. Purpose-built on the old Feilding Maternity Hospital site, the facility is leased to Feilding Health Care and is designed to bring primary health services together in one location as an integrated family health care centre.

Owned by Manawatū Community Trust (MCT), the Clevely building is leased to Feilding Health Care (FHC) and was earmarked as an extension to the custom built Health Care facility that MCT completed next door in 2015.

Since its redevelopment and opening in 2022, the nearly 1000 square metre Clevely Wing provides a welcome additional workspace for allied health services, including community mental health and physiotherapy services.

In 2018 Manawatū Community Trust purchased the former RSA building located on 14 Bowen Street in Feilding. The facility is leased to Manchester House, who uses the facility to provide services to seniors.

The Senior Hub has been active in the Feilding and Districts Community since 2009 and offers a place of belonging, purpose, and social connection.

They offer a wide variety of activities and opportunities, including a popular exercise programme, bingo, entertainment, and the chance to connect with others.

Manawatū Community Trust was approached by Jeff Wakelin, seeking a space to start up a local branch of the popular Menzshed model.

The Feilding Menzshed moved into the old Feilding Maternity Hospital boiler house in 2015. Since then, the boiler house has again been filled with tools, equipment, and purpose. Its membership continues to grow.
