Health and wellbeing at home
Summary of work
Health and Well-being at Home is a unique, ground-breaking public health initiative that delivers multi-format health education directly to the communities and homes of those most in need.
The concept…
…is unique The consultancies have partnered with bpha, a leading provider of social housing, to prove the benefits of social landlord-delivered public health campaigns that target their communities and tenants who are known to suffer greatest health inequalities and the poorest health.
…is revolutionary Never before has a social housing provider partnered with the industry to deliver this education – being fully evaluated for health gain and reduced healthcare utilisation – to its tenants.
…is achievable Social landlords have well-established channels for tenant communication, and are respected and trusted by them.
…promises a better future By demonstrating the benefits of a public-private partnership between social housing providers and industry, we can radically alter the way some of the poorest in our society are empowered to improve their own – and their community’s – health and well-being.
Health and Well-being at Home has successfully completed phase one. Given its pioneering nature, the rigour of approach and the significant achievements to date, we believe it is suitable for a submission to Communiqué.
