Wellnet

Are you working to improve health and well-being through community projects in London? 

is for communities and professionals across London to share ideas for delivering community-led interventions to increase health and well-being.

It is part of the Well London Programme, which is funded by the BIG Lottery.

Who's it for?

All those working to promote the health and well being of Londoners across public and voluntary sectors. This will include health and social care, regeneration, housing, environment and planning.

What is it for?

 aims to:

• Increase the knowledge, abilities and effectiveness of London's professionals and communities to design and deliver well-being community projects
• Increase opportunities for services, interventions and projects aimed at increasing well-being at a local level
• Share new approaches developed by Well London and beyond with representatives from every London Borough.

What does it involve?

• London-wide events - Two London-wide events per year offer a mix of high-level learning for practitioners and more specific learning for those working at community level. 
  
  Our first event, Communities in Control, on community engagement was held in September 2008.
  
• Regional events - Four London regional learning events per year are held based on the Well London themes of healthy eating, physical activity, mental health, open spaces and culture and tradition.
  
• Website - online resources including case studies, the latest news and views and part of the Well London website.
  
• Wellnet bulletin- sent every two months. To subscribe to the bulletin, contact j.luckett@lsx.org.uk or click here.
