Residents from the Unwin and Friary Neighbourhood in Peckham have been allocated £20,000 to set up and run their own projects to improve local health and wellbeing.

The money has been allocated by Well London with funds from the Big Lottery and NHS Southwark. Well London works on estates to improve health and well being by providing opportunities to improve physical activity, healthy eating and the environment. The programme will be coordinated locally by Peckham Voluntary Sector Forum (PVSF).

Residents will be invited to an event on Saturday 23rd March at Peckham Park Baptist Church to listen to short presentations from people who have submitted applications for their project ideas. After the presentations residents will sit together to deliberate about what they have heard and then cast their vote for their favourite project. The money will be shared between successful projects. Young people aged 14 and over have been actively encouraged to put forward applications to fund their project ideas.

The PVSF Well London Coordinator David Reid says, “What we want is for people to take ownership of the projects that matter and to make this happen we have set up a process where residents can run their own projects and participate in voting for the projects that mean the most to them.”

Residents are already excited about the Well London idea and have gone as far as volunteering to do something about improving health where they live by forming a group called the Well London Delivery Team. The role of the group is to provide healthier lifestyles information and to encourage people to organise and participate in health improvement activities.

Residents will be receiving their invitations to the presentation event by post. For details see this poster, or contact David Reid at PVSF on 020 7358 9777 or david@peckhamforum.org.uk.
