St Austin's RC PrimaryHealth & Wellbeing
Live well directory
The Live Well Directory is a free website that connects people in St Helens Borough, Liverpool, and Knowsley with a wide range of support services. It provides easy access to local wellbeing and health services, advice and guidance, as well as information on joining community events, activities, and groups.
A recently added dedicated button highlights local services aimed at reducing social isolation and loneliness, making it easier for users to find organisations that offer support, and a welcoming community. The directory also features a 'What's On' calendar, listing local events with a focus on wellbeing, helping people find fun things to do and stay connected - www.thelivewelldirectory.com.
We’re actively working on adding more Children and Young People’s services, many more pages are on the way.

Anti-Bullying
At St Austin's we take bullying very seriously which is why we are delighted that our efforts to prevent bullying within our school have been recognised by the Anti-Bullying Alliance. We were recently awarded "Gold Status" for our work in this area following a thorough appraisal of our ongoing efforts to address bullying.
