Hounslow CORE20 Health Inequalities Small Grant

As part of our ongoing efforts to ensure we tackle the avoidable differences in health access and outcomes across Hounslow, the Hounslow Borough Based Partnership are reaching out to invite you to collaborate with us, we are inviting local community and voluntary groups and resident groups to apply for funding to run engagement activities to gather feedback from the diverse communities in Hounslow.

Feedback from residents on their health and wellbeing will help us in ensuring the services that we design and commission are:

· Inclusive and representative of the diverse needs of local population.

· Targeted and better suited, resulting in better outcomes in preventative intervention.

· Reaching individuals and groups who have until now benefited less from public services.

We need your help to engage with local residents, in particular those who are impacted by health inequalities. We are looking for information that will help us to better understand:

· Our residents’ self-reported health and wellbeing (physical and mental) and what contributes to their health and wellbeing

· Difficulties and challenges that have the biggest impact on residents’ health and wellbeing

· Barriers faced by residents when looking for or accessing or benefitting from health and wellbeing services in Hounslow and how to overcome them

· Activities, services, and support that can help to improve residents’ health and wellbeing

This could involve:

Local events and activities that will bring people together to discuss what would help to improve their health and wellbeing and what challenges and barriers they are facing

Focus groups with targeted communities to understand what kind of help, activities or services would be most beneficial to them

One-to-one interviews with people you support

Online, phone, or paper surveys

There are two points of engagement:

1. To gather insights from residents of barriers, challenges, and solutions (April-May)

2. To review findings and co-design solutions (July-August)
