The Communities Keeping Well Programme [South West] is working in partnership with two communities to support them to live healthier lives. Residents have established their health and wellbeing priorities and will be running their own projects to support these priorities.
We are working in two locations
- Harford (Ocean Estate)
- Shadwell (Watney Market)
We recruited and trained 12 local resident volunteers to raise awareness of the CKW project through street conversations and door knocking and visited a range of stakeholders including schools, GP practices and community organisations to begin to identify what would make their community a healthier place to live and what they are doing to improve their health and wellbeing.
Our local stakeholders are:
Tower Hamlets Social Prescribing Service
Ocean Women’s Association
82 residents came to a World Café event at Harford Community Centre. 40 residents and 28 stakeholders came together at a Working Together workshop to develop the community priorities for action.
- Access to information and resources
- Social and community connection
- Physical and mental wellbeing activities
- Food, food growing and gardening
- Community safety and local environment
- Access to health services

This is a new way of funding projects in the Harford area to address community priorities. At the Community Voting Day, residents will pitch their project ideas to local residents who will then vote on the project ideas that they like best and these projects will get funding from the CKW project.
Harford Community Voting Day is at 10:30am on Tuesday 10th December at Harford Community Centre. All residents are welcome to join us to vote.
