W2W (Ways to Wellness)

Ways to Wellness is a project based around improving health and wellbeing in the Westcliff community. We have been awarded 5 years funding from The National Lottery Community Fund

The Ways to Wellness Project has emerged from our previous Big Lottery funded project (Listen Include and Build) which focused on getting people into employment and family learning activities.

As a result of consultation with the community, it was identified that people on Westcliff estate experience significantly higher incidence of ill-health leading to life-limiting mental and/or physical health conditions. Ways to Wellness seeks to address these inequalities; identifying and building on the collective and individual strengths of local people.

The differences this project aims to make are:

• People will have improved mental health and well-being
• Increased social interaction between people and groups on the Westcliff estate
• Increased participation in volunteering leading to local people having increased self-confidence and being able to make healthier lifestyle choices and promote healthy living to others

We hope that by the end of the project we will have helped people to access what goes on in Westcliff or beyond, along with new activities that we will be organising on the estate.

If you would like more information about the W2W project, if you would like to know more about getting a Buddy or volunteering as one, we would be more than happy to discuss this with you.
