Community-centred approaches to health and wellbeing - Scoping a learning approach

The Centre for Ageing Better wants to build its understanding of the opportunities to convene, connect and support stakeholders (community organisations, funders, commissioners, services, etc.) across England to learn with us about how to grow and/or improve community-based approaches to health and wellbeing in local areas. We are specifically looking to facilitate learning on community-centred approaches that support and involve our age cohort (age 50-70).

Through speaking to stakeholders we want to understand whether there is a clear role for Centre for Ageing Better to stimulate learning, adaptation and improvement across the sector. We want better understanding the opportunities and challenges we might face, including any existing work in this area that we could feed into or learn from.

This project aligns with our larger evaluation of the Leeds Neighbourhood Networks we are conducting and our aim to use this evidence to encourage spread and scale of good practice to other localities.
