Well London
This 5-year, £9.46 million programme, funded by the BLF, will work with local people to transform health in twenty of London’s most disadvantaged neighbourhoods.
The Well London programme will invest in local community-led projects: Promoting mental health and well-being; improving healthy eating choices, and promoting access to open spaces and increasing physical activity.
Well London is a unique alliance of seven partners that bring strategic influence and local community-led experience: London Health Commission, Central YMCA, Groundwork London, London Sustainability Exchange, University of East London, Arts Council England, London, and South London and Maudsley NHS Trust.
The programme will encourage new ways of working to improve health and well-being through culture and tradition. We have developed a unique monitoring and evaluation framework to ensure we capture what works.
We have been working closely with local people to assess their health needs and priorities. We will support local groups and people and join-up current initiatives, developing skills, confidence, programmes and networks to leave a lasting health legacy. This is the first time that this type of approach will have been tried on a regional scale. For further information visit the Well London website.
