The visit went well and we'll find out in early December whether our bid goes through to stage two. This is a fantastic opportunity for us to deliver positive health and wellbeing for London's most in-need communities in the areas of food poverty, green spaces, mental health, culture and tradition.

'Well London' is a partnership bid put together by the London Health Commission, Groundwork, Central London YMCA, London Sustainability Exchange and University of East London. You can download the bid strategy at: http://www.londonshealth.gov.uk/wellbeing.htm

Our portfolio will deliver:

25 community-led projects, coordinated at the local level, which make real and sustainable gains in the health and well-being of our most disadvantaged communities and build their capacity to secure further gains;
robust, evidence-based models and benchmarks that will influence policy and practice to secure real enhancements to well-being and reductions in health inequalities across all communities in our capital city and beyond.

Ends.
