Winners of the presigious 2009 Sustainable Communities Award
Our judges were unanimous in this decision and felt this work really stood out for a number of reasons. They were impressed with the scope and scale of resources used and the way these have been maximised and developed to scale up the impact whilst remaining relevant and sympathetic to the individuals. The project’s offer was diverse, the partnerships many and varied and robust. The approach is sustainable because of the community involvement and ownership and because learning is shared and developed.

What Is A Health Trainer?
Our team of Health trainers are local people who live and work in your community. They have the knowledge, experience and training to be able to put you in touch with other local services and community groups, but more importantly to provide you with one to one support to make real changes in your life to improve your health and general wellbeing.
