Wesport were appointed by the Inner City and East (ICE) Bristol and South Bristol Locality Health Partnerships to manage this one-off Positive Activities Grants process. We have been working together to explore and reduce health inequalities in children and young people. Through The Children and Young People Positive Activities Grant, organisations that received funding have delivered a wide range of activities to support healthy weight and improved mental health outcomes.
Whilst we know many factors contribute to both healthy weight and good mental health, we want to build on the natural capacity that exists across our communities and empower communities to identify and realise their own solutions.
The aim of the fund has been to address health inequalities in children and young people by supporting positive activities that can contribute to improved healthy weight and mental health outcomes. The focus for the projects in the two localities were:
- Inner City and East Bristol projects focussed on improving mental health outcomes through positive activities.
- South Bristol projects focussed on supporting healthy weight through positive activities.
