Our priorities
In 2023/24 we focused on three main priorities:
The chapters of this report reflect what we’ve achieved in each of these three areas.
About the Neighbourhood and Wellbeing Delivery Alliance
The Neighbourhood and Wellbeing Delivery Alliance is a collaboration between health, care, voluntary and community sector organisations within Lambeth. We create partnerships with local people and work together to share intelligence, create solutions, and design projects that improve the health and wellbeing of Lambeth residents.
Our approach
Connecting people with support in their communities.
We want to deliver care and support closer to home, working at ‘neighbourhood level’. By this we mean ‘neighbourhoods’ of around 30,000 to 50,000 people. These are often grouped around GP practices and have strong links with local services like neighbourhood nursing, pharmacists and community groups.
Taking a ‘population health management’ approach to our work
We use a population health management approach in our work. This helps us understand the key health and wellbeing issues affecting Lambeth residents and embed this into the way we work with communities. The King’s Fund video below explains more how this perspective helps us take a broader view of the many factors which influence health in our communities:
Trialing new initiatives through a ‘test and learn’ model.
We work together with other health and care organisations, and the voluntary sector and local community groups, to develop small scale local projects that we can ‘test and learn’ from.
We then share what we’ve learned across the partnership, so more of the same projects can be developed and benefit people in other parts of Lambeth.
Our aims
By collaborating and working in this way, the Neighbourhood and Wellbeing Delivery Alliance aims to:
- address issues together that we can’t do alone
- develop resilient and empowered neighbourhoods
- make it easier for residents to get the health and care support they need
