Background Well Skelmersdale is a Well North pathfinder site which is about the local people who live in the heart of the Skelmersdale community day in day out.

Well Skelmersdale's goal is to create the conditions that allow the people of Skelmersdale to reach their full potential.

It is about aiming high and creating healthy environments for healthy living.

These are environments that foster better conditions in which to live, learn, work, play, grow, and socialise.

Well Skelmersdale is focused on unleashing the potential in the residents and the place.

Well Skelmersdale is a vibrant, diverse and growing collaboration across community, voluntary, faith, charitable, business, enterprise and public sectors focused around the same goal and with the same commitment to ensure we achieve what we set out to do.

It's about raising aspiration, mobilising leadership and intelligent partnerships.

It's about backing people who do real things that make a difference.

All of this is being done with Skelmersdale communities at the forefront, providing the ideas, the solutions, the momentum, the leadership, and above all the natural passion to change.

Skelmersdale is a town in West Lancashire, England, on the River Tawd, 6 miles (10 km) west of Wigan, 13 miles (21 km) northeast of Liverpool and 15 miles (24 km)southwest of Preston and has a population of 38,000 residents.

The town borders the village of Upholland to the east, eventually leading into the Wigan area of Greater Manchester, West Lancashire's administrative centre Ormskirk to the north-west, and Saint Helens to the south.

The M58 runs through Skelmersdale.

The New Town is the larger eastern half of the town, the Old Skelmersdale Town is the smaller portion to the west.

Skelmersdale was designated a New Town in 1961, designed to house overspill population from the north Merseyside conurbation.

The town itself is a hive of urban activity with a number of industrial estates and shopping areas, yet is surrounded by attractive wooded valleys and cloughs with plenty of wide green open spaces.
