Health Inequalities

please note: this project is now closed. 

We invited voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations and community groups in Devon to help us investigate health inequalities by joining online workshops and completing an online questionnaire. 

The sessions had the following objectives:

• To increase understanding of health inequalities (nationally and in Devon), what things impact on health inequalities and how your work/activities link to this agenda
• To share information about the approaches which are most helpful in tackling health inequalities and inform you on where to find relevant data, evidence and information
• To support the use of data, evidence and information to link your work/activities to health inequalities, where this is relevant to funding opportunities
• To agree further actions which can be taken to reduce health inequalities in Devon

The session were run by Lucie Hartley, Associate of Devon Communities Together. Lucie has over 30 years’ experience working in health and social care, working mainly in the VCSE sector, but also for the NHS and local authorities. She is passionate about social justice and challenging inequalities.
