This decision will mean the Council is awarded £450k from the Health Foundation to undertake a programme of work (Good Jobs, Better Health, Fairer Futures) to expand the work of the Leeds Inclusive Anchors Network.
The programme presents a fantastic and exciting opportunity for economic development and health partners in Leeds to come together to for a joined-up and targeted approach to economic and health interventions in the most disadvantaged communities in Leeds. Our Leeds Anchors Network has demonstrated its potential in this area, but we know that more can be done and that our work needs to expand to ensure systematic change and greater impact city-wide. Without this funding, most of the activity in this programme will not take place and the opportunity to deliver system change and reduce health inequalities will be lost.
