Altogether Better
Altogether Better North Yorkshire and One is one of 17 projects within the Altogether Better Programme, funded by The Big Lottery Fund in the Yorkshire and Humber region. Altogether Better is a 5 year well-being programme to help individuals and communities to:
-
eat more healthily
-
be more physically active
-
improve their mental health.
The focus is on working in areas of disadvantage to improve the health of identified groups with an emphasis on community and individual empowerment. The Project will build community capacity and develop the skills of individuals to ensure long term success in sustaining improved health and making a lasting impact on health inequalities. The intention is to enable local people to take the lead in improving the health and well-being of themselves, their families and their local community.
The project will operate in two local authorities where a total of 12 Wards have been identified as meeting the criteria for involvement – Scarborough Borough (8 Wards) and the City of York (4 wards). In each of these areas the target groups are:
-
Families with Children
-
Lone Parents
-
Teenage Parents
-
Care Leavers
-
Homeless young people
