Working better together in neighbourhoods

This report sets out the evidence for neighbourhood and community-based efforts to improve health and wellbeing. It finds a spectrum of different types of interventions, from those developed within and by statutory bodies, to those that have arisen entirely within communities themselves, often in a conscious response to gaps within, or perceived failings of, the local services upon which all communities rely. This report shows what can be learnt from these experiences to build a better set of co-ordinated, neighbourhood-based responses to improving health and care, working together.
