To fund 3 grade 7 Well Doncaster Officers at
the cost of £100k for 1 year, this will enable the Well
Doncaster team to continue to build on community insight and
capturing the voice of residents within deprived communities
focusing on the top 30 areas of deprivation. Continuing to build
resources into the Team Doncaster Thrive
approach, enabling the conditions for people to live in a community
conducive to good mental health and allow for the building blocks
to reduce local health inequalities. Since 2015, Well Doncaster has
worked in and with the communities of Doncaster to listen to lived
experiences and get to know each community’s strengths. We
want to continue to ask our communities to tell us what is
important to them, empower them to enact the change they’d
like to see, and follow their lead. The use of the Public Health
reserves funding will enable us to continue to listen and work with
communities to turn their ideas and strengths into action,
providing the support, connections, and inspiration they need to
shape the health and wellbeing of our city. Because the approach is
community centred and supports residents to be involved in shaping
their health future this will enable a deeper understanding of
resident who are underserved and find accessing health services in
their community difficult. This additional year of funding will
enable work with primary care to align health services in the
community to meet the needs of residents who live there. Well
Doncaster builds on 9 years of being a community-led and
evidence-based health and wellbeing approach offering the support,
connections, and inspiration for our residents to make a
difference.
