Working in partnership to enable local residents and organisations work together towards a Healthy Downham
Community Development Initiative for Downham
The Healthy Downham project aims to develop a locally focussed, integrated, holistic, community-led approach that improves community health and well-being for those who live, work or learn in the area.
We aim to deliver the project, engaging and empowering people by:
-
inviting residents and service providers to explore the issues around healthy lifestyles
-
enabling residents and service providers to define what is needed to build and strengthen the determinants of good health and wellbeing in their communities
-
supporting residents and service providers in seeking creative and innovative ways to address these issues
-
helping individuals to acquire the skills, tools, knowledge, experience and confidence to take control of and improve their individual and collective health and well-being
The five 'strands' of the project are listed on the right. The Community Development Initiative for Downham is funded by Public Health Lewisham.
If you are a local resident or working in Downham and would like to get involved please contact us.
