living well stoke on trent

The Living Well Stoke on Trent project has been a partnership between NHS Stoke on Trent, Changes 12 Steps to Mental Health and the Media Action Group for Mental Health. It is one of fourteen projects in a portfolio of work that form the West Midlands Living Well programme, funded by the BIG Lottery.

Living Well Stoke on Trent has focused on three key objectives: supporting communities, marketing health and improving health and well-being. The themes of healthy eating, physical activity and mental wellbeing have cut across the portfolio to ensure a 'holistic' approach to health and wellbeing.

MAGMH has run a significant programme of conferences and awareness raising events over the three years of the project. The annual conference has acted as a launch point for the theme of the year and through its content has highlighted the links between the three themes and provided a forum for discussion around pertinent issues. Other events have included the Sanity Fair street festival and a large autumn community event as well as a range of smaller events targeted at specific audience groups.

The conference and community awareness events have allowed Living Well Stoke on Trent to reach wide audiences of both public and local professionals and have acted as a catalyst for the other elements of the project to market their activities. Over the three years MAGMH have organised or attended 22 events and welcomed over 2800 participants.
