Delivering the 50 steps

Community, as one of the major determinants of health, has a vital role in improving health and wellbeing. Schools, places of worship, community groups, businesses and more all play an important part, and the level of activity around health and wellbeing in Newham is outstanding. We want to celebrate, showcase and encourage this. We are relaunching our ‘Changemakers’ programme to celebrate people who go above and beyond to improve the health and wellbeing of their communities in Newham. This will be a constantly growing community, where people can meet, share ideas and inspiration, network and make connections. Changemakers will be celebrated at our annual health event and have the opportunity to access free training and capacity building. There will also be young Changemakers – celebrating the children and young people who already do so much to make Newham a healthier place. Some of the Changemakers can be seen throughout this strategy.
