Latest issue of CHEX-Point available!

 

The latest edition (#33) of our quarterly 'CHEX-Point' newsletter contains a range of interesting articles including a look at the work of Community Food and Health (Scotland) with examples of some of the fascinating activities being carried out by community health initiatives to tackle health inequalities in food and health; an article on the work of Newmains Youth Project in North Lanarkshire which takes an inter-generational approach to improving access to opportunities for young people and which was formed by participants who had taken part in a Health Issues in the Community course held in the area; and an article on the CHIP project, a partnership between Stepping Stones and Barnardo’s which runs community gardening initiatives in north Glasgow.  

We also have a look at the benefits that the community and voluntary sectors can bring to NHS Health Scotland’s ‘Keep Well’ programme, the benefits of a community website in South Ayrshire and the draft recommendations of the Glasgow Health Commission.
