Well London: communities working together for a healthier city

Cost and Savings

The Well London programme received funding of £9.46M from the BIG Lottery.  Each community benefited from approx £300,000 of project delivery resources.  This was not provided as a cash sum but comprised a range of resources including training for local residents, funding to commissioned local delivery organisations, and salaries of Partner staff who worked with local communities.

Each partner organization had staff who were responsible for delivery of the programme. They were either employed specifically for the Well London programme or it was included in the duties of existing staff.  

The programme was also able to lever in additional funding. For example Groundwork levered in nearly £151,000 for open space activity.   A further £2M will come from the BIG Lottery Fund over the next 10 years for BIG Local Trusts in the Well London Woolwich Common and White City areas. The Wellcome Trust is providing an additional £740,000 for the Cluster randomized control trial.
