Healthier Lives Award 2022 winner

Winner

Hackney is a deprived borough in London, with high levels of obesity and inactivity. GLL operates affordable leisure facilities across Hackney through the Healthier Together Hackney programme offering both weight management and physical activity on referral programmes to those who are inactive or have health conditions or related risk factors.  The programme is the most successful and comprehensive within all of GLL’s facilities - and across Hackney receives around 4000 referrals every year. The team calls and speaks to every single one of these members of the public in need of health support, aiming to book them in for crucial health-related activities.

 

A strong application from a well-established programme which is clearly achieving positive outcomes and extending its reach. The programme goes beyond an individualised approach to weight management with initiatives to address some of the wider determinants of health through local employment initiatives, volunteering ‘champion’ opportunities and support for the wider community.

Veg Power CIC's Eat Them to Defeat Them programme aims to inspire kids and support and inspire parents and carers, so they eat more vegetables. In the UK, 80% of children don’t eat enough vegetables and 29% are eating less than one portion per day (NDNS 2016-2019). 45% of parents/carers say they struggle to get their kids to eat vegetables (YouGov 2021).

The programme has a clear goal and an innovative approach to achieving it, built with significant input from several different key stakeholders, including several high-profile supporters. It provides an excellent level of support for all stakeholders and has accessibility at its core.
