To fund 3 grade 7 Well Doncaster Officers at the cost of £100k for 1 year, this will enable the Well Doncaster team to continue to build on community insight and capturing the voice of residents within deprived communities focusing on the top 30 areas of deprivation. Continuing to build resources into the Team Doncaster Thrive
approach, enabling the conditions for people to live in a community conducive to good mental health and allow for the building blocks to reduce local health inequalities. Since 2015, Well Doncaster has worked in and with the communities of Doncaster to listen to lived experiences and get to know each community’s strengths. We want to continue to ask our communities to tell us what is important to them, empower them to enact the change they’d like to see, and follow their lead. The use of the Public Health reserves funding will enable us to continue to listen and work with communities to turn their ideas and strengths into action, providing the support, connections, and inspiration they need to shape the health and wellbeing of our city. Because the approach is community centred and supports residents to be involved in shaping their health future this will enable a deeper understanding of resident who are underserved and find accessing health services in their community difficult. This additional year of funding will enable work with primary care to align health services in the community to meet the needs of residents who live there. Well Doncaster builds on 9 years of being a community-led and evidence-based health and wellbeing approach offering the support, connections, and inspiration for our residents to make a difference.
