The delivery of the Community Ambassador Co-Production Programme

Award outcome

Description

The programme builds on the work previously undertaken by Community Protect as part of the Great Mental Health Project (GMHP) in 2021-22. However, the scope has now been extended to improve health outcomes and tackle inequalities with a focus on both mental and physical health. The programme prioritises some of the most diverse and deprived communities in Haringey to support the most vulnerable residents to improve health outcomes. Community Protect lead the work with a number of grassroots organisations to support delivery of the programme. Thematic areas of focus include diabetes, CVD, mental health, prostate health and menopause. Community ambassadors are key to the delivery of the programme and will work with service providers within a co-production model to understand the needs of communities and residents. The ambassadors will collaborate with local service providers (statutory and VCS) to co-design health sessions and health promotion materials that are culturally and contextually appropriate for communities. The Bridge Renewal Trust have delivered positive outcomes over the past year and demonstrated high social return on investment, delivering measurable improvements in community leadership, health awareness, inclusion and social cohesion. The award of contract for the Community Ambassador's Co-Production Programme to the Bridge Renewal Trust is for a period of 12 months, commencing from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2026 at a cost of £60,000.
