The Win-Win Alliance – Disabled people leading change is a consortium of four user-led organisations: Disability Rights UK, Shaping Our Lives, Change and the National Survivor User Network

The Win-Win- Alliance  is intended to help Department of Health, Public Health England and National Health Service  England work closely with Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprises  (VCSE) organisations to promote equality, address health inequalities and help families and communities achieve and maintain wellbeing.

 

The Department of Health, Public Health England and NHS England have launched the new Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise (VCSE) Health and Wellbeing Alliance (HW Alliance). The HW Alliance will amplify the voice of the VCSE sector and people with lived experience to inform national policy, facilitate integrated working between the voluntary and statutory sectors, and co-produce solutions to promote equality and reduce health inequalities.

VCSE organisations can sign up to the monthly edition of the Department of Health’s voluntary sector team’s newsletter. This includes updates on the work of the Health and Wellbeing Alliance and news from the DH, NHS England and Public Health England.

This can be done by emailing HWAlliance@dh.gsi.gov.uk

 

Twenty one HW Alliance members have been selected for their reach into communities across England. They have been established to:

  • Encourage co-production in the creation of person-centred, community-based health and care which promotes equality for all
  • Enable the voice of people with lived experience and those experiencing health inequalities to inform national policy making and shape the delivery of services
  • Build evidence of sustainable, scalable solutions to mitigate and prevent inequalities impacting on health and wellbeing of communities

By being part of this alliance, Shaping Our Lives can amplify the voices of our members and networks at national and strategic levels. It means that real issues affecting local communities across England are raised and positive local solutions sought together.

Our own user-led Win Win Alliance joins a host of other VCSE organisations and consortia including:
