Well London: communities working together for a healthier city

Further Information

Well London delivery, funded by Big Lottery, in the first 20 communities finished at the end of March 2011 and the emerging evidence from the project and programme level evaluations point to significant, positive impacts and outcomes on a range of measures.  The results of the cluster randomised control trial will be available in 2012.  In the meantime Alliance partners are determined not to lose the momentum in realizing the great potential for replicating, scaling up and further developing this Well London approach in other communities.

With Big Lottery endorsement an exciting legacy strategy has been developed that will take the Well London approach into a second wave of communities.  The interim evaluation report and a Well London ‘tool kit’, which captures the learning from work with the first wave of Well London communities, will soon be available. This will include a Well London ‘commissioning framework’ for commissioners and ‘manual of operations’ for future local delivery organizations and partnerships.
