The Impact
The Cardiff and Vale University Health Board strategy is to achieve joined up care based on home first, avoiding harm, waste and variation, empowering people and delivering outcomes that matter to them.
Our Health Meadow project aligns smoothly with out Health Board objectives; for our population, to reduce health inequalities, deliver outcomes that matter to people, and all take responsibility for improving our health and wellbeing.
This facility will help to tackle inequality by providing long-term access to social prescribing activities in an outdoor setting and generally improving the lives of our local community.
The outcomes will be:
- Improved mental health of our community, less people seeking medical intervention
- Improved rate of rehabilitation in the community with less likely re-admissions into hospital
- Increased links with marginalised and seldom heard communities
- Less admissions into hospital
- Faster discharge from hospital in enabling day-to-day skills to be learnt or re-learnt after long term illnesses
- All of the above will result in less pressure on the NHS
Let’s work together to make a change now. With your help, we can create positive outcomes for people struggling with their mental health, allow seldom heard communities to feel more included, bring faster recovery and rehabilitation to people within our community and deliver improvements to the environment and sustainability.
We understand that £1.5 million funding is extremely ambitious and we recognise that this may need a collaborative funding from three or four grant makers. All costs have been scrutinised and cost advised by Gleeds.
