Are you involved in running an activity for children and young people in Blaenavon? Why not come along to our network meeting next Monday to let others know about you and find out what else is going on?
Over the next few months, we’ll be talking to as many local Blaenavon residents as possible. We’ll do this by organising face-to-face events, visiting local groups and activities, working with local organisations, sharing online surveys, and reaching people wherever they find it easiest to speak with us.
We’ll update residents on our findings as we go with regular updates via our social media and website pages.
If you’d like to get involved take why not pop along to one of our events, fill in our online survey or get in touch with the team.
Healthy Blaenavon is a developing social movement involving the local people and local organisations from across the local community. We want to improve health and wellbeing in the communities we live and work within. Led by Aneurin Bevan University Health Board through its Integrated Wellbeing Network Programme and actively supported by the Healthy Blaenavon Officer of Blaenavon Town Council , conversations with people living and working in Blaenavon will shape how this movement develops.
The World Health Organization (WHO) defines healthy as
People are connected with the activities, opportunities and support that enable them to be healthy and well.
People have the opportunity to contribute to conversations and decisions in the community about the things that affect them.
We value and use our local assets including people, groups, buildings and open spaces to enhance the health and wellbeing of our community
Public services and local organisations collaborate to build positive relationships and work together better to make the best use of what we have.
Organisations who deliver services and support work co-productively with people, building on their strengths to find their own solutions.
Local services are connected to each and other and to local well-being resources supporting people to get the right support from the right person at the right time.
Healthy Blaenavon recognises that there are many aspects to physical and mental health and that ‘healthy’ looks different for everyone.
This website has been developed by the Healthy Blaenavon Partnership, it’s the place to go for information on local opportunities, services and information in your local community. We hope the resources on this website help you maintain and improve your mental and physical health. We’d like to hear from you if you have any feedback or suggestions @ Contact Us > Healthy Blaenavon
