BIG: Early evaluation findings suggest that projects funded through the Big Lottery Fund’s £160m Well-being programme are successfully reaching people across the country in need of support. The evaluation involves a sample of 60 health projects funded by the Well-being programme in England, from fitness activities to healthy eating schemes.
It reveals that people with poor health & well-being, particularly in terms of healthy eating, ‘life satisfaction’ and mental health, are being successfully targeted and gives a firm indication that the programme is starting to make great strides in these areas.
