Campus to Community: Health Promotion Partnerships

Communities have a vital role to play in physical & mental health & wellbeing & promoting healthy behaviours. Universities have a wealth of resources and are a significant player in building healthier communities. In the current climate of austerity where funding is scarce, universities can support charities to deliver services the local authority can no longer offer Leeds Beckett community-campus collaborations place emphasis on a community-centred approach for health and wellbeing, as social connections & influence on local decisions are major factors in good health

Breathing Space Final Evaluation Report

Breathing Space was a women-centred project, funded by the Tampon Tax Fund through the Department of Digital Culture Media and Sport. It aimed to reduce distress and the harmful impact of domestic abuse on women and their children. The focus of this project was support for women who have suffered complex trauma and are experiencing difficulties in their lives as a result. WHM provided safe space for women to “stabilize”, helping women to access internal and external resources and develop stress management skills and so address the critical first stage of trauma recovery. Breathing Space ran from August 2017 until March 2020. This report documents the findings from an independent evaluation of Breathing Space, drawing upon qualitative and quantitative data collected throughout the delivery period of the project

The Key Evaluation Report

The Key Project received Big Lottery funding to continue its work in 2017, aiming to work with disadvantaged girls and young women at high risk of abuse aged between 13 and 25 within the Leeds area. The project is located within Women’s Health Matters, a charitable provider of gender-specific services in Leeds. This report presents the overall evaluation findings from a longitudinal co-produced model of data collection conducted by the Centre for Health Promotion Research, Leeds Beckett University

Evaluation of Age UK Eatwell and Livewell Programme

The Eatwell and Livewell Programme was set up in 2014 to provide support in the malnutrition pathway for older people within two Yorkshire areas. This report presents the findings from an evaluation of the programme conducted by the Centre for Health Promotion Research, Leeds Beckett University. It presents evidence about the project’s background, its progress in relation to target outputs, the outcomes for service users, and learning from both delivery sites

Evaluation of Joint Pilot: Health and Well-Being Support Worker - Locala and Connect Housing Final Evaluation Report

The joint housing and health pilot project was set up in September 2015 as a prototype approach aiming to improve the health and well-being of people with complex health needs within the Batley and Spen Valley localities. The project was co-commissioned by Locala, a provider of NHS community services and Connect Housing, a charitable housing association based in the voluntary sector. This report presents the findings from an evaluation of the joint pilot project conducted by the Centre for Health Promotion Research, Leeds Beckett University. It presents evidence about the project’s background, the outcomes for service users, the Health and Support Worker role, multi-agency working, reductions in health service usage costs, and maps the evaluation evidence against Care Closer to Home Key Performance Indicators as well as overall learning from the project

Homeshare Scheme

Homeshare is a scheme in which older people – ‘Homeowners’ - provide an affordable home to young professionals or possibly students – ‘Homesharers’ - in exchange for help or support with everyday tasks (e.g. shopping and cleaning), and companionship. This pairing is intended to be mutually beneficial, whereby older people are provided with help and support to live independently and young people are offered a much needed home. There are similar schemes in London, but nothing like this is currently in place in Leeds. This report presents findings from a research project conducted in Leeds to investigate the demand for this service and the feasibility of this type of scheme. The research was funded by Leeds Metropolitan University and Leeds City Council
