Connect for Health Acton - Acton Connect

Connect for Health - Acton is a grassroots community project where we will build a team that strives to improve everyone's health in Acton.

We will host health events and activities, we'll discover health inequalities in Acton and find ways to tackle them, we'll also spread awareness of health related issues, and we'll guide people to the health services that they need.

As a volunteer you will be:

• Helping to organise, plan and design the programme
• Be at the centre of Acton's communities, make contacts and help people directly
• Research what health issues, and inequalities are affecting Acton's communities
• Reach out to contacts at the NHS and local organisations to create a database of organisations that we can direct people to

• Community organising
• Interest in health
