Shaping Places for Wellbeing
The Shaping Places for Wellbeing Programme is a delivery partnership between the Improvement Service and Public Health Scotland, funded and supported by the Health Foundation and Scottish Government with support from COSLA.
The ambition of the Shaping Places for Wellbeing Programme is to change our collective approaches to the places where we live, work and play. To deliver upstream preventative interventions that reduce Scotland's significant health inequalities while delivering on the range of national ambitions around Covid recovery and climate action. The programme aims to stimulate and support action at local, network and national level and the action is anchored in the Place and Wellbeing Outcomes.
How has the transformative work of the Shaping Places for Wellbeing Programme been implemented within the Project Towns of Alloa and Fraserburgh?
Read this insightful blog from Michelle McCormack, Health Improvement Programme Officer (Place Standard) at Public Health Scotland, which highlights the impactful work of our Programme. Michelle, who also supports the Programme, details how the work is being used in place-based decision making to prevent ill health and reduce inequalities within two of the Project Towns we are working in, Alloa and Fraserburgh.
The Shaping Places for Wellbeing Programme Lead, Irene Beautyman, said: “We’re excited to share this insightful video that highlights the transformative impact of the 'Shaping Places for Wellbeing Programme’. The Programme’s approach serves as a powerful reminder of the positive changes we can achieve when we come together to recognise the long-term preventative role places have in shaping healthier communities.”
