North Tandridge Health and Wellbeing Network

Our network

Over the past year, our network has worked to identify and collectively action many areas to improve health and wellbeing in the local area.

Bringing together local residents and community partners who collectively wish to improve the health and wellbeing of local people, and the delivery of local NHS services.

Our aim is to:

• Meet with other local people and organisations who are creating health in their area
• Celebrate all that is going on within the local community
• Take stock of how relationships between local people, local organisations and the NHS are changing and developing
• Reflect on local experience of NHS services
• Shape a collective vision to build upon.

Below is a selection of the North Tandridge Neighbourhood highlights.

1. Community feedback: Transport services are a in short supply in Caterham, particularly travel to and from East Surrey Hospital.
   Latest update: We linked organisations and residents with East Surrey Rural Transport Services providing digital on demand minibus service for residents. This included popular routes to East Surrey Hospital from Caterham on the hill.
2. Community feedback: Lack of engagement and support from local commercial businesses to direct residents of Caterham.
   Latest update: We worked with local Parish Councillors to identify capital funding opportunities for equipment. Westway centre benefited from community projects with partner organisation - Waitrose to provide updated facilities in the Westway.
3. Community feedback: Bringing together local community organisations.
   Latest update: We supported local organisations to encourage access to open space specifically a spring bulb planting event in Whyteleafe. 
   
   Growing Health Together work with The Westway and Freedom Leisure to tackle loneliness and sedentary lifestyles with guided walks, pickleball for over 60s, boxing for Parkinson’s patients and supporting awareness of these activities has been important work. 
   
   The value from the partnership working that has come about due to the Network Meetings – understanding roles and responsibilities of many voluntary sector organisations and charities has made problem solving of issues arising within our community more joined up.
4. Community feedback: Limited resources and activity for children and young people locally.
   Latest update: We supported organisations to complete children and young people survey to help identify what young people would like to see in their local community. Supported the continuation of the Friday night project at de Stafford sports centre.
