People’s Health Trust Annual Review 2017

It provides a remarkable success story. Since the launch of the Trust in October 2011, more than £93 million has been raised by society lotteries through The Health Lottery. This has enabled us to invest in more than 2,600 local projects supporting more than 440,000 people across Great Britain in inner city, coastal and rural areas, in towns and suburbs.

We would like to thank the 51 society lotteries and The Health Lottery for providing a sustainable income stream to support our work in neighbourhoods across Great Britain today.

activities, and social networks. All are interrelated and together impact on physical and mental health. In short, the cruel truth is that children born in socially and economically disadvantaged neighbourhoods are more likely to live much shorter lives.

People’s Health Trust cannot be a replacement for structural investment but, where we can and do make a difference, is by furthering individual and collective agency. We support local people to design and take control of their own initiatives and, in doing so, create new opportunities and choices.

The principle that lies behind our work is that where you live should not reduce the length of your life or the quality of your health. We know that living in the poorest neighbourhoods in Britain means that life expectancy is decreased and residents face far more disadvantage than people living in richer neighbourhoods. That is why we focus our investment in areas of the country where local people experience the most health inequity.

Social and economic exclusions shorten lives, impacting on everything from choices in life, quality of housing and surrounding environment, to learning and cultural opportunities,

As you will see in this Annual Review, projects are diverse and far-reaching – reflecting the diversity of all those involved.

In the coming year, bringing people together from different backgrounds and cultures will become more critical than ever in these uncertain times.

A recent study commissioned by Amnesty International has highlighted the rise in reports of hate crime after the 2016 EU referendum and the emotional and physical damage this has had on the wellbeing of individuals and whole communities. Rather than a collective coming together, people are retreating into their own communities, increasing isolation and creating greater divisions.

In the coming year the Trust will be supporting initiatives that engage communities in common interests, bring different experiences together and listen and learn from those experiences through dialogue and joint activities. Together we will continue to build on the positive narrative that we celebrate in this review.

Sue Cohen Chair, People’s Health Trust

I’m delighted to welcome you to the sixth edition of the Annual Review of People’s Health Trust.

Welcome from our Chair

“In short, the cruel truth is that children born in socially and economically excluded

neighbourhoods are more likely to live much shorter lives.”

This is not about going it alone – through our Local People and Local Conversations programmes we work with residents and local voluntary organisations to affect change. We are working to support local people to take control and bring about improvements they would like to see in their neighbourhoods; including creating children’s and young people’s activities, communal green spaces and gardens, employment training, social enterprises, and environmental projects.

The latest evaluation of the Active Communities programme highlights the overwhelmingly positive impact these thousands of varied projects have on overcoming loneliness and isolation. This is significant work because research shows that social isolation is as damaging to our health as smoking 15 cigarettes per day.

wanted, how they wanted it and that they were in control of the resources to do it. This was local power in action, with all of its complexities and frustrations.

Reading this, you may wonder what all of this has to do with health; we have a long way to go to get back to what health means. From all of our conversations, it’s clear there’s a disconnect between the version of health we hear through media and political discussion, and the version which matters to local people. Of course residents want to know they’ll be cared for if they are sick, but their understanding of what health really means – good neighbourhoods, good jobs, clean environments – is much more sophisticated than the reductionist sickness versions we all tend to receive.

The year has been a challenging one. We exist in a world focused on the provision of front-line services to support the immediate needs of people. The need is real but if we are all to work on prevention, we have to put the resources and the time into this. For the first time, there appears to be a genuine and growing interest in support for a more ‘up-stream’ approach to health. One which is focused on supporting residents to have the power to develop things as they need them to happen, and one where the charity sector, funders, commissioners and service providers all believe in the wisdom of local people, and the sense it makes for us all to work together to prevent early death and life-limiting disability for people who experience the sharp-end of the deal.

John Hume, Chief Executive, People’s Health Trust

Two years ago we began to develop a change map: if we wanted to support change locally, what would need to happen, what would it look like and what would be the ultimate difference residents would want to see? We did this piece of work with local groups and residents to ensure it was what they wanted. Our theory was that if people are to make change which really impacts on their lives and health, then they must be in control of the initiatives which are created.

We now know the things local people come up with are not the usual health-promotion ideas but are more often about local parks and environment, getting into good work, dealing with poor-quality housing, supporting debt reduction, supporting young people and refugees, to name but a few.

Individual and collective action takes time to develop but it leads to very important changes, and ultimately to better health and wellbeing. People coming together in dialogue develop stronger connections and skills. They begin to develop confidence and aspiration and see they can influence people, money and resources.

But it’s complicated to encourage people to take control collectively, so it’s not surprising that it’s taking time to develop. Taking control addresses a significant power imbalance and power, we know, is fundamental to health.

Over the last year I’ve been spending time with some incredibly interesting funded groups as they grapple with how to take control in a way which is likely to improve their longer-term health. Disabled people in Brighton and Hove have formed their own groups, are lobbying the council for beach access for disabled people, and have worked with other activists and developed the first Disability Pride.

Sitting in one of their meetings on a very rainy day in Brighton, it was great to see that the process was as important as the end result. It’s everything we had hoped for. It mattered that beach access was achieved, of course, but it mattered equally that disabled people came together to determine what they

We appointed and worked with evaluators for all our programmes to ensure we were able to objectively contribute to the wider discussion around health inequalities. We have gathered information from other sources, including progress reports from hundreds of funded groups and, this year, we have introduced a resident survey, which allows us to compare the health and wellbeing of local people with national wellbeing data.

Initial reports are showing that stronger links between people are having a positive impact on the social determinants of health. 81% of projects who receive money and support through the Active Communities programme reported an increased sense of belonging for their participants, with a further 85% talking about a reduction in their social isolation.

Welcome from our Chief ExecutiveIn this Annual Review, we look back at a year of change to address health inequalities; change, both theoretical and practical.

“The year has been a challenging one. We exist in a

world focused on the provision of front-line services to support the

immediate needs of people.The need is real but if we are

all to work on prevention, we have to put the resources

and the time into this.”

“When we started back in 2015, it was the beginning of an ongoing conversation in the community about what mattered to local people.

Those that live here know the area has a lot to offer; our conversations gave a picture of optimism, hope and pride, countered by a feeling that the area’s prevailing culture was downbeat. When we talked about particular priorities to focus any additional resources on, there was considerable consensus on four topics.

Many felt that young people were being overlooked, there weren’t many activities for them in the area and we wanted to address that.

People also wanted to address social isolation, particularly amongst older men, and befriending was seen as a popular way to improve resilience and confidence. The community hope to build a network of volunteers, including befrienders.

Most people felt that organisations working in the area didn’t listen properly to their needs and weren’t working effectively together, leading to people not getting the support they needed, and time being wasted.

Residents see volunteering as a way for them to develop their skills and experience, and enrich and extend the reach of community-based services, bolstering their capacity and effectiveness for the future.

We have been busy starting to address our priorities, and we now have a small grants programme through which local groups can bid for seed funding to get new ideas off the ground. Residents decide how money is invested.

A new residents’ association is being set up, there’s a youth forum, weekly coffee mornings, car boot sales, a resident-led steering group for the project, community clean ups, and older people are running a lunch club.

Our network of volunteers and supporters is growing, and as time goes on, we can see that the project is helping to build links in the community, and bring people together who wouldn’t normally meet or talk.

Community groups are offering each other support, local businesses are getting involved, there’s an increased sense of hope, and people feel more empowered.

Whilst the initial engagement phase of the project is over, it’s never really over. We continually test our priorities to make sure they’re still important and relevant to the local community. The Local Conversation must be inherently flexible, because people’s needs will change over time.”

“It can be a struggle to learn English if you don’t have any support. Without learning the language, you can’t progress very far, and the skills you have aren’t always transferable.

We set up the group to help members of the Chinese community learn English together and have different classes, depending on when people can meet.

The group are a very good support network for each other. They have built friendships outside of the classroom and have even travelled to Essex to have dinner with one of the teachers and his family and friends. They all brought a dish and socialised – it was lovely.

The funding has given us a tremendous boost and we wouldn’t have had this opportunity without it. Everyone is more confident, and feels more capable.”

“There are a number of workshops for the community of Skye and Lochalsh and we support a range of people, including children, young people, and those with learning disabilities.

Aerial skills look really impossible, but when you just achieve even a tiny thing, it feels amazing and really boosts your confidence. The more experienced members help the newer members to build their self-esteem.

We are all leading the project – we have meetings where we voice our opinions and say what we think worked well, or didn’t, and shape the project from there.

The project also offers an important opportunity to build social links and ties. There isn’t regular public transport here which means it can be difficult to get involved in activities. Coming as a group or with others makes it more accessible and more sociable.”

Special Stars Foundation Sunday Club, Active Communities programme HealthWin | Hedon, Hull

“We started the playgroup to help local families caring for a disabled family member to have a place to meet socially which is accessible, inclusive and welcoming.

It’s such a simple thing, we couldn’t understand why it didn’t already exist, which is sad because so many parents in our situation can feel isolated.

I’m a parent with two sons who have a disability; they have autism.

Caring for a disabled child can be stressful and can impact on family life. Parents often have to work fewer hours, spend much more on items such as specialist clothing, toys and equipment and, without support, it can be a very depressing and lonely existence. To meet other parents that understand this and have had similar experiences is an incredible lifeline.

Special Stars was born originally as a special needs playgroup, but it soon became much more than that. The Sunday group was very popular and over time we built up a collection of sensory toys and equipment. We’ve met local like-minded caring parents who also have disabled children – some of whom have now joined us as trustees of the charity.

There are real, lasting friendships and support networks forming. Parents have made lots of new friends and bonded over shared experiences, and even meet outside of the group as well. It’s absolutely brilliant and we are always reaching new people – it is very much loved and valued by the people that go to it.

It is such a great support network for the children too. It’s a really inclusive environment, not only is it physically accessible, but we also welcome people of all ages.

We think it’s really important for siblings to be involved and for the whole family to be welcome. They can play alongside their peers and also meet up with other children that are going through similar experiences.

I have been going along with my two children for many years, who have formed friendships which they never would have had without the club.”

Natalie Barnes, parent carer, founder and Chair of Trustees

“We go as a family, which is great. It gives us, as parents of a child with a disability, the opportunity to meet other parents in a similar situation and share information. Best of all, it gives our son the chance to be free to explore, play and have fun in a safe, secure and friendly environment.” Jayne Barker, parent carer and resident

“The Upper Afan Valley is a vibrant community and highly active, but the area has experienced significant difficulties after a history of industries withdrawing from the area.

It has left residents feeling frustrated and lacking control, which is why the Local Conversations programme is so important to us.

It places local people at the heart of local plans – it’s not about a quick fix, it’s about looking to the future and affecting change that will last.

It has been a great support for the area, and after a lengthy engagement process, we came up with our priorities for the community.

One of the priorities is to support anchor organisations to develop sustainable community facilities and the project has part-funded the running costs for three community hubs, which has contributed to them staying open and allowed them to continue delivering a range of community activities.

With support, the hubs have been able to expand their work, including setting up more activities, coffee mornings, and a Meals on Wheels service. The hubs are a lifeline to the community, and the funding has meant that other community groups also have a base to meet up and continue their activities.

As well as giving residents a stronger voice, the project allows them to use their skills, experience and wisdom to think about making real and sustainable long-term change.”

Paul Stepczak, project worker

“Some people got involved in the project because they wanted to put a stop to the discrimination the LGBT+ community face.

For others, it is about finally being able to stop pretending and be themselves; it’s about finding a place where they feel accepted. Feeling able to help others helps us too.

Not everyone feels confident talking about LGBT+ issues and there is so much ignorance and discrimination but we have to start somewhere. This project gives us a chance to talk safely without fear, and reach out to other people. It gives us the strength and confidence to begin to challenge attitudes.

It’s like being part of a big family. Sometimes we don’t all agree and sometimes we do, but it doesn’t matter. The main thing is that everyone listens to everyone else. We all have a voice.”

Shaun Taylor, resident and member

“We want to raise awareness of LGBT+ issues, so it was incredible for our group to be invited to march with the Trust this year. Being part of Pride in London 2017 was something that I never thought I would ever achieve in my lifetime. I still look at the photos to remind myself that I was there and part of it all. It was absolutely amazing.” Sandra McCourt, volunteer

“A number of generations rely on these buildings – from older people to young mums. It would be devastating if they were lost. There’s a great element of fun and enjoyment that goes on here; I always leave feeling better about myself.”Resident

“The Forum provides a much-wanted platform for the community to express their views and concerns they want to address.

With our support, residents have informed the designs of all the activities through a series of pop-up events and design workshops around the neighbourhood. Votes and comments are presented to the Forum and help to shape their decisions.

The Forum recently organised a fun day for the community, with everyone lending a hand to promote it through their friends and local groups. The event brought over 120 people together in the local park, enjoying the range of fun activities on offer as well as each other’s company.

As well as the opportunity to learn skills, on-street activities have enabled new people to become engaged in the project. One example is the social walks, where residents are seeing parts of their neighbourhood they haven’t seen before and meeting new people.

Some residents are now working together to get a series of walks happening on a weekly basis. They have tested a route, which they will discuss with other residents before they begin to promote it.

A recent planting event also provides a good example of how events, however big or small, provide an opportunity for residents to talk and get to know one

another. Residents had the chance to meet people living in different areas of the neighbourhood, who they had not been in touch with before, and share their contacts and expertise with others.

Neighbours soon realised that they have skills and resources that could help each other and are now working together on different projects, including building new benches, which were painted in purple to offset the existing blue and green planters. The planters reclaimed an area of ground that was normally overrun with parked cars and now provides a pleasant space for people to sit with friends.

Skills, confidence and networks are growing in the community alongside people’s desire to see positive change in the neighbourhood through up and coming activities that include community brunches and gardening, plus new colourful benches and verge planting on the horizon.”

“People didn’t seem to know their neighbours and many of us felt lonely.

With a lack of support, a resident in our community died on his own, with no one around him.

We were determined it wouldn’t happen again; it was our catalyst for change.

Neighbours, friends and families got together and decided something needed to be done and it needed to come from us – it is our neighbourhood, our problem, our solution.

We started engaging the wider community and created a steering group made up of local people and then came up with the idea for the project.

We now regularly hold different activities including arts and crafts, and the activity changes every six weeks. It’s never static; we change to fit in with what residents want.

In the beginning, the majority of the group were men, which was our initial target, as often they are less likely to access services but that has expanded.

We also train volunteers, which used to just be for older people, but now younger people also get involved.

One of the young women who volunteered with us lacked confidence, so much so that she couldn’t even look at you, but now she is supporting people and getting really involved. She is now a support worker – it’s a great achievement and she has really built her confidence.

Activities usually take place in a local centre but we also support the group to deliver their activities outside the building. One member of the group joined six months ago and is now taking responsibility for running an activity, making sure the building is open and welcoming everyone. Her confidence has increased dramatically.

We also visit people in their homes – it could be something as simple as having a cup of tea and chat, or taking them out to a community event.

There were people who had lived in their home for 30 years and didn’t know their neighbours. Now, they know each other and are less isolated. They go out together, do activities together, we have got rid of old misconceptions and people are happier.”

“The Local Conversations programme is different. It’s all about local people deciding what their community needs, and working together to develop their own solutions – and, to do that properly, takes time.

The project has given residents a space to share ideas and build relationships; It is great to see the whole community involved – they have control of its design, development and delivery.

From talking to the residents, it was clear that a lot of people who live here were concerned about anti-social behaviour and safety, and the local environment plays a big part in that, so it became one of our three main priorities, alongside jobs and money, and children and young people.

We now have lots of different initiatives that make up the Local Conversation and by bringing people of different ages, faiths and backgrounds together we are connecting residents who often have similar concerns but may not yet know one another.

One of the initiatives saw school pupils making hanging baskets – they made

“The project started after residents said they wanted computing courses, arts and crafts and cooking activities for children.

As well as gaining new skills, some residents felt isolated and wanted to be able to make new friends and get more involved in the community. Everyone had different abilities and the more experienced members helped newer ones.

Some members of the group have made lasting friendships and meet up outside of the project.

It was great that members of the project volunteered during the course, and others have gone on to volunteer afterwards because they have gained confidence and now feel they have the skills to do it.

They volunteer in different roles like in the heritage group and at a local charity shop – it is really great.

The computer courses also helped some members of the group gain employment with the skills they had learned.”

“In the beginning, when we were getting to know local people, they were nervous and a bit suspicious about what was going on.

On estates like ours, where the statistics say there are high levels of deprivation, there’s often consultation but nothing actually comes of it – people’s expectations are often raised and then dropped again.

When we were first here, it took some time to win people round because they felt it wouldn’t last.

We got out and about on the estate, chatting to people at fun days, we pushed trolleys full of pasties, went to the school gates with strawberries and cream – we did whatever we could think of to start conversations and build relationships.

One of the things that kept coming up was that people wanted a community hub – somewhere where our activities could be based, and we could get together.

We identified two derelict shops in the middle of the estate and have refurbished and transformed them into our hub.

Because of the Local Conversations approach, of investing in an area over a period of time, people have been able to see it grow and flourish. The transformation of the two shops has become a metaphor for what can happen – you can take something derelict and useless and turn it into something powerful and now residents feel like they can start to change things.

There is a whole load of stuff going on. Local people cook lunch for other people on the estate, we have children’s groups, dancing, and an athletics club.

We launched our own artisan pizza business this year. We learned how to

make dough and breads. We delivered bread to local schools and have taught local children and teachers to make bread, developing new relationships and a new dynamic in existing ones: local people never imagined they would be the ones teaching teachers.

It is early days for the pizza business, but this is already bringing in new people and allowing volunteers to meet different members of the community.

We have met some wonderful, creative people; they always had it in them to make things happen, but the challenge is creating a vehicle for it to take place.

We are now embedded in the estate, there is no difference between staff and residents – we are doing something together and there is a mutual respect for all our voices.

Our role is facilitating what people on the estate want to do. Making sure the boxes are ticked from an organisational point of view, and allowing people to lead with their ideas.

People are now coming who didn’t previously come out of the house, people who didn’t know their neighbours.

There is a man who comes to our men’s group who is like a different person now. A year ago, he had been unemployed for ten years, struggling with his mental health and confidence, never going out. Now he comes to the men’s group, has attended training and he has even joined our steering group

“Our priorities have grown out of a long period of engagement with the community – this isn’t a small community project, it’s a long-term change programme for where we live, and we’re all involved.

Deciding what we wanted to change was an extensive process but it was an important one, and now we’re really starting to see things happen.

Time is so important, you can’t rush these things. The Local Conversations programme gives us the time and space we need to build trust in what we’re doing, and in people’s confidence, and their ability to take the reins.

people power. They arranged a meeting with the housing association too and although they didn’t get them to change their mind, they took direct action and it was a big success for the group.

It showed that people will listen and their opinions will be heard, even if they don’t always get the result they want.

This is just one small example of the changes residents are making in the neighbourhood as part of the Local Conversation in Merstham.”

“Men and women gather together and we talk about any issues we have and socialise. In the beginning, people were shy and didn’t talk much, but now we share everything.

We meet twice a week to share news and chat about things that are concerning us. There are volunteers that can help if we need practical support, like booking medical appointments, because we don’t all speak English.

Most of us live alone, so it’s really important to us. We talk about our experiences, challenges we’re facing, how we’re feeling, and then we can move on. The project helps me emotionally. I feel happy being part of the group. It is a very supportive place.

I have made friends and feel happier for coming and seeing new faces. Without the project I would be at home, stuck in bed worrying all the time – but here, I get support.”

“I had just retired and was quite lost after working as a teacher for many years. I have made some lovely friends who have supported me through illness and low times.”Elaine Harris, resident

“I have lived in South Wigston for most of my adult life, and there’s never been as much happening as there is now! We’re breathing new life into the area so come and get involved and get active – there’s so much to do.”Paula North, resident and steering group member

“One of the main aims of the group is for everyone to get on with each other, whatever their background.

There are IT lessons for women, a singing group, arts and crafts and English lessons. We even go on days out together.

We are one of a few places that can offer classes with a crèche, so the mums can build their confidence while socialising.

We recently went to the Hay Festival where famous authors, scientists and artists give talks, and two members of Coffee and Laughs stood up in front of hundreds of people to tell their stories of how they left their countries to settle in Wales. It was wonderful to see how their confidence had grown.

For many of the women it’s become a big part of their lives. The friendships that are made are more important than anything else that comes out of the project, especially for the older generation. Some of them are widowed or living alone, so life can be very lonely.

“The Local People project’s STEP OUT group has really seen residents get more involved, but it has taken time.

They are starting to become more active by taking on tasks – small at first, and then with increasing levels of responsibility.

Members are coming along to more meetings, are building relationships with the Council and even wrote a funding bid for ten committee members to do the Young Leicestershire Passport to Volunteering course.

Sessions are very much run by the committee members now and they have designed a new logo, created their own style of marketing and are even about to take over the lease of a new property which will host the youth group in the future.

One woman, who had never done any youth work, became a regular volunteer on the project and, within several months, joined the committee. She is now one of the most vocal members of the group, taking on key roles of responsibility – and is looking to pursue a career in youth work now.

The group recently had their AGM and it was great to see how far they have come, and so quickly from where they started.”

People’s Health Trust Annual Review 2017

Through our funding and support, we invest in the neighbourhoods and communities most affected by health inequalities in Britain. Common to all aspects of our work is the desire to ensure that control is firmly in the hands of residents, so that they can drive what happens on the ground.

We currently run three main funding programmes: Active Communities, Local Conversations and Local People.

Active Communities Active Communities supports residents to take action on local issues that are important to them. These small and local projects can be anything from setting up a lunch club or playgroup for children with disabilities to creating a tenants association or support group for the LGBT+ community. The projects strengthen social links and ties, and put processes in place that enable local people to take individual and collective control, including through engaging people, and determining how projects are run and developed.

Open for applications in different areas at different times of the year, this programme is for small and local projects run by local community groups that are looking for funding of up to £50,000 for projects lasting up to two years. Since its launch in 2013, more than 225,000 people have directly benefited from the programme.

Local Conversations Local Conversations supports residents to get together to discuss and agree their priorities and plans for their neighbourhood. Supported by a local anchor organisation, the Trust, and a network of other projects funded through the programme, residents lead a deep and continual engagement process, and agree a way forward together.

There are currently 21 Local Conversation projects taking place across Great Britain that have engaged more than 21,000 people. Through the programme, the Trust invests much larger amounts of money over a longer period of time. By having an ongoing series of conversations with residents, community members work together to develop plans for the area. With support from the Trust local people have then gone on to deliver their ideas, helping them to begin to realise their shared, long-term vision for where they live.

Local People Through the Local People programme, groups of neighbours and communities with shared interests organise local activities that help them to address local issues that are important to them. They are supported by larger charities that operate at a very local level and who bring their own expertise of engaging and working with specific communities.

The Trust is currently working with Scope, TCV, Sustrans, Youth Sport Trust and Royal Voluntary Service to support residents in 29 neighbourhoods in England, Scotland and Wales. To date, the programme has engaged over 25,000 people.

David Jones, Director of Grant Programmes

“From people with learning disabilities challenging stigma in Lewis in the Western Isles of Scotland, to activities for gypsies and travellers in St Day in Cornwall, community organisations from all over Great Britain have secured Trust funding for actions and activities that matter to them and their community. Getting the money is one thing, but it’s important to remember that these great projects also rely on thousands of people giving their time, and using their wisdom and skills to bring about change.”

changes that directly impact on the social determinants of health, most commonly in the form of improvements to local environments.

This is part of an evaluation being carried out independently by New Economics Foundation. The Year 1 evaluation report will be published late 2017. The full evaluation will be published in 2020.

The Local Conversations projects are connecting through their own network and sharing knowledge and learning between each other both online and face to face where fruitful discussions have taken place throughout the year. Subjects of discussion include using digital technology effectively to support local communities, finding ways to engage more people, and exploring sustainability.

The Trust is facilitating the networks and continuing to explore how we capture the learning emerging from these spaces.

Active Communities Year 1 evaluation findings showed that Active Communities projects are helping people to take greater control and transforming how they feel. 78% of projects said that participants had an increased sense of collective or individual aspiration. The same proportion (78%) said that they had developed an increased sense of trust.

In Year 2 of the evaluation we are hearing very positive comments about our Active Communities programme, specifically around improved social links and ties. The vast majority of respondents are highlighting increased confidence, knowledge, skills and assets.

This learning is part of an evaluation being carried out independently by Ecorys. The Year 2 evaluation report will be published in spring 2018.

Over the last year we have continued to deepen our understanding of the impact community-driven approaches are having on reducing health inequalities.

This learning supports residents on the ground to make their neighbourhoods even better. It also supports our contribution to the wider debate around approaches to tackling health inequalities by addressing the social determinants of health.

Local Conversations At this stage in our evaluation we are hearing positive things – that communities taking part in our Local Conversations programme are experiencing increased social connectedness, increased confidence and knowledge, as well as greater understanding and skills.

Several of our Local Conversations are reporting that residents have more influence both collectively and individually. We are also hearing of

Based on conversations with our projects we are also working to develop an Active Communities network as a priority over the coming year, which will incorporate capacity building.

Local People Evaluation for our Local People programme started in February 2017. This is being carried out independently by Leeds Beckett University and New Economics Foundation. The final report for Local People will be published in Spring 2019..

Our change map All our evaluations are underpinned by a theory of change which was developed in collaboration with local residents. You can see this on page 18.

Nicola Brian, Director of Communications, Evaluation and Learning

“The Evaluation and Learning Committee met three times during the year to review the progress of evaluations underway. It’s great to see evidence of projects increasing social connectedness, helping to reduce isolation and building confidence amongst people. We are also learning about mechanisms and processes that bring about local control and some of the challenges involved. So, a lot to share with various stakeholders and which will also help us make improvements to our own funding programmes.”

Paul Ballantyne, Chair of the Evaluation and Learning Committee

“Many aspects of our finances and HR work require detailed discussion, consideration and challenge. The Audit, HR and Risk Committee takes on much of this work, providing information and recommendations to the full Board on key decisions about financial strategy. It offers robust scrutiny of our financial performance, and the extent to which we are successfully managing the risks the charity faces.

Our Board of Trustees and

Committees

Governance The Trust’s governance is overseen by the Board of Trustees, Audit, HR and Risk Committee, and Evaluation and Learning Committee.

The Board of Trustees is responsible for providing oversight, advice, determining strategy, approving the strategic plan for the Trust, approving the annual budget, monitoring performance, and monitoring organisational risk.

Trustees are based across Great Britain, with at least one Trustee in both Wales and Scotland.

This year, the Board took a decision to move to four whole-day meetings per year. This has enabled them to focus on strategy such as external engagement and the impact of Brexit on local people.

In the last 12 months, we have welcomed two new Trustees, Duncan Stephenson and Alan Francis, taking the total number of Board members to nine.

The Audit, HR and Risk Committee reports to and advises the Board on the key areas of audit, risk and finance, including investment.

The Committee takes delegated responsibility, on behalf of the Board of Trustees, for ensuring that there is a framework for accountability, and for examining and reviewing all systems and methods of control, both financial and otherwise, including risk analysis and risk management.

The Committee also has responsibility for ensuring that the charity is complying with all aspects of the law, relevant regulations and good practice.

Members of this Committee comprise two Trustees, one of whom is Chair of the Committee, and a third co-opted external member, Ian Grattidge. The Audit and Risk Committee met twice in the last year.

The Evaluation and Learning Committee provides strategic oversight of the Trust’s evaluation and learning activities, and technical advice and expertise on evaluation design and implementation.

The Committee also provides advice on the quality, progress and performance of evaluation commissioning and contracts, and makes recommendations back to the Board on the strategic direction and progress of the Trust’s evaluation and learning activities.

Members of this Committee comprise four Trustees, one of whom is Chair of the Committee, and a fifth co-opted external member, Dr Matt Egan, from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. The Evaluation and Learning Committee met three times during the year.

In the last 12 months, overseen by the Board, the Trust has made significant progress against its three-year strategic plan for 2016 to 2019.

We would like to thank the 51 society lotteries, The Health Lottery and its players, our committed staff team, visionary Board of Trustees and Committee members. Because of you, all this has been possible.

Since the Trust was launched in 2011, more than £93m has been raised by society lotteries through The Health Lottery to address health inequalities in Great Britain. This incredible amount of money has been used to support over 2,600 projects helping more than 440,000 people to grow, live, work and age well.
