Being There is working in partnership with Manchester Settlement (charity) on their Community Health Creation Project – a pioneering, community-led initiative focused on improving the lives of people living with long-term health conditions across North Manchester.
As one of the four 'leading neighbourhood' partners, Being There will bring 40 years of experience working with the communities of North Manchester and its passion for collaborating with other charities. We will be supporting other charities to work with the communities of Ancoats, Beswick, Clayton and Openshaw to manage their long term conditions.
We will be working with four other charities that are deep rooted in our neighborhood to deliver the Health Creation Project. These organisations will work directly with our communities that are facing long term health conditions, such as hypertension, cardiovascular disease and chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (lung diseases that cause breathing difficulties)
We will be embedding the Heath Creation Model and will have Health Creators directly from within the communities that we serve, meaning that information is accessible and sustainable.
We are very excited to be working on this project
