Background on Tameside Community Wellbeing Programme
The funding for the Community Wellbeing Programme has come from the Greater Manchester (GM) Transformation of health and social care monies, as part of the GM Devolution Agreement.
The main aim of the Community Wellbeing Programme is to reduce demand and dependency on health and social care services by connecting adults who have long term health conditions to community-based activities and services to help improve their own health and wellbeing.
The Community Wellbeing Investment Board is made up of a range of stakeholders, our Community Wellbeing Programme delivery partners (Active Tameside and Jigsaw), VCFSE representatives from Tameside’s Voluntary Sector Influencing Group (VSIG), Tameside & Glossop Integrated Care Foundation Trust (ICFT – the commissioners of the whole programme), Tameside Council, and Tameside and Glossop Strategic Commission.
The Investment Board have agreed to ring-fence a pot of money (total £200,000) to invest in developing and delivery of:
- Community Buddy Pilot Scheme
- Transport Solutions Pilot Scheme
