Today we’ve launched our new report, Creating health and wealth by stealth.
It forms our latest research as part of the government’s VCSE Health and Wellbeing Alliance, with guidance from the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities and NHS England.
It presents our new findings and recommendations on the role of community anchor organisations in local illness prevention services.
The report highlights:
- Key learnings on the current role of community anchors in local prevention services
- Findings and recommendations for the health system on commissioning community anchors for prevention services led by the wider determinants of health
- Recommendations for community anchors on improving their position within local health systems as prevention service providers
It features real-world experiences from community anchors and local health systems as we seek a new paradigm for how sustainable and impactful prevention services are delivered within communities.
