Help Your Health

From 2017 to 2020, Help Your Health worked with BAME community groups across Ealing and Hounslow to improve health awareness and strengthen access to trusted health information. The project focused on sharing clear, relevant messaging on issues affecting local communities, using established community groups as key partners in health promotion and engagement.

The programme covered a wide range of topics, including healthy heart, dementia, cancer signs and symptoms, cancer screening, blood pressure, physical activity, alcohol awareness and mental health. By working through trusted local organisations, the project helped make health information more accessible, culturally relevant and community-rooted. It also supported a model of ongoing local engagement, with trained Health Champions attending events, offering one-to-one interventions and encouraging residents to improve their health and make use of relevant services.

Impact:

• Worked with BAME community groups across Ealing and Hounslow over a three-year period.
• Trained Health Champions through EHCVS-delivered Royal Society for Public Health training.
• Supported one-to-one community health interventions and signposting to services.
