How does it help?

Based on THRIVE Framework five categories: Thriving, Getting Advice and Signposting, Getting Help, Getting More Help and Getting Risk Support.

Aspect 1: Communications and engagement – culturally and linguistically appropriate information that is accessible to targeted resident groups – including where support is available. Disseminated via websites, leaflets, posters, weekly online bulletins and via social media.

Aspect 2: Community Wellbeing Ambassadors – are volunteers embedded within participating grassroots community organisations. They are trusted, understand the cultures and speak targeted community languages. The Ambassadors are trained and will assist with the provision of information to targeted residents, signposting to digital wellbeing offers and co-delivery of wellbeing activities.

Aspect 3: Community wellbeing interventions – co-produced and co-delivered with priority resident groups including those who are lonely or socially isolated.
