Wellbeing Exeter
Project Information
Community life and social connections are vital to all our health and wellbeing. Wellbeing Exeter works alongside people to discover and develop opportunities and ideas on how to live and feel better and get connected to what matters to them.
As a partnership, we offer the following:
Community Connectors
Our Community Connectors support people with their wellbeing and will work on a one-to-one basis to explore opportunities on offer in Exeter.
Community Builders
Community Builders support people in their local neighbourhoods to grow their own ideas and try new things that bring people together, improve their wellbeing and make the community a better place to live. This can include: connecting people and opportunities together, creating new networks; encouraging and supporting local people to take action on things that matter to them; creating spaces that allow people to come together, get to know each other, build trust and share skills.
Community Physical Activity Organisers
CPAOs focus on being active as one of the 5 Ways to Wellbeing. They work with people who aren’t currently active to find new opportunities to move more as part of their daily lives. This can include: connecting people to community and opportunities to be more active, in ways which work for them; working in Exeter’s local neighbourhoods with residents, groups and networks to support physical activity ideas to get off the ground, grow and keep going.
Evidence shows that if we connect with others, keep learning, take notice of what is around us, give something back to our community and stay active, our happiness and overall wellbeing will increase.
These 5 Ways to Wellbeing inform and underpin how the programme engages and works with individuals and communities to enhance and promote their wellbeing.
We work alongside:
the skills, knowledge and commitment of individual community members
the resources and facilities within the public, private and third sector
friendships, good neighbours, local groups and community and voluntary associations
physical, environmental and economic resources that enhance wellbeing
Together we build on what’s strong to enhance individual and community wellbeing.
