Principles met

Maximising social value

We will support the development of a framework and criteria for social value, giving substance to the concept and supporting Councils with the tools to ensure better local social and economic outcomes.
New models of meeting priority needs

In exploring new ways of meeting the priority needs of our communities we will encourage models, such as co-operatives and mutuals, which give greater influence and voice to staff and users. in designing and commissioning public services and in determining the use of public resources.
Social partnership

We will strengthen the co-operative partnership between citizens, communities, enterprises and Councils, based on a shared sense of responsibility for wellbeing and mutual benefit.

About the project

Our Wellbeing Hubs aim to enable and support people in the local community to live independently and make life choices that will improve their health and wellbeing. The 5 Hubs launched so far are managed by different community organisations with a further 2 due by the end of March 2020. The Leadership Centre has helped to develop the hub as a community leader and we have trained staff in Make Every Contact Count. CCIN funding would enable us to share our learning with new hubs through learning and networking events and a celebratory community event during 2020/21.
