Healthy Communities

 

The Healthy Communities COI started in 2021 in order to bring together partners across the Yorkshire and Humber region who were delivering Community Champions schemes. The group has since developed and widened in both theme and membership. We now cover a range of healthy communities themes and community development approaches.​

​We are a friendly and informal group who support each other, share best practice and learn together. We share a wealth of information and resources with each other and work with a range of partners in the Yorkshire and Humber region to improve health through community. We invite speakers to share their research, practice and learning with the group and can provide feedback, expertise and support where needed.

The meeting provides a forum for: sharing best practice; providing local, regional and national updates; championing and developing community champions and community approaches programmes; feedback on successes and lessons learnt and supporting new evidence and research.
