Through our work we improve people’s health both directly and indirectly. We run specific initiatives such as walking schemes, but much of our work helping to improve lives in disadvantaged communities affects the wider health agenda.

Our Health Team works with communities and individuals to deliver projects which will positively benefit their mental and physical well-being including:

  • Promoting healthy lifestyles
  • Encouraging healthy eating
  • Delivering health-related activities to schools and community groups
  • Regenerating allotment use through community involvement
  • Encouraging and training volunteers

We have close working relationships with health professionals and enjoy partnership working with Health Authorities, Primary Care Trusts and other health organisations.

Through our work, people are enjoying free health walks, growing their own food and taking part in family sports activities.

Improving mental wellbeing is a major outcome of many of our youth and employment programmes. Our connections within communities and our ability to work holistically across sectors means we’re an important partner for many Primary Care Trusts and other NHS organisations.
