Survey update
We are excited to share that #BeeWell has already heard from 12,000 young people this year, with the survey open for another two weeks. Schools will receive their individual findings in January, and the updated neighbourhood dashboard will be available early April. If you have any opportunities to present the findings that may not already be on our radar, please get in touch.
Youth commissioning funding
We mentioned in our last partners meeting that our youth steering group ‘Youth Matters’ had co-ordinated a county wide ballot for co-created ideas to allocate funds to.
Funding applications are now open, we look forward to working with you to turn their ideas into new projects and opportunities to improve wellbeing.

Capturing impact

As we move into year two of the programme, it’s important for us to capture the impact of the data so far whether this is supporting funding bids, shaping strategic plans or areas of focus please do get in touch so we can demonstrate the importance of measuring wellbeing
