Wakefield health and wellbeing project completed
Last year Wakefield Council's public health team commissioned Migration Yorkshire to conduct stakeholder engagement activity with people residing in the Wakefield District who have lived experience of moving from overseas to live in the UK. This contributed to a wider Health Needs Assessment project for people born outside the UK, undertaken by the Public Health Team and Wakefield Integrated Care Board (ICB).
The project explored the question ‘What does good health and wellbeing look like to non-UK born communities in the Wakefield District?’ and 370 non-UK born nationals took part. Although the project was specific to the Wakefield District, many of the findings have a wider relevance.
The project outputs are now available on the Wakefield JSNA website, including the following produced by Migration Yorkshire:
- Full report, summary report and technical appendix
- Digital Stories – three short videos created by three non-UK born residents to illustrate what health and wellbeing means to them
- Signs of Wellbeing in Wakefield – a collection of statements created by Wakefield residents which reflect their broad wellbeing priorities
- Poster presentation – an infographic providing an overview of the lived experience engagement work.
Launch events were held late last year for stakeholders, and you can access the recording of the online event here.
