Review of the Welsh Network of Healthy School Schemes

The Welsh Network of Healthy School Schemes (WNHSS) encourages the development of local healthy school schemes within a national framework and the local schemes encourage the development of health promoting schools in their area.
The Welsh Assembly Government has commissioned the Cardiff Institute of Society, Health and Ethics (CISHE) to gather evidence of the progress and achievements of the 22 schemes established in Wales. The project began in March 2007 and is set to end in April 2008. A report to the Welsh Assembly Government is expected to provide overarching observations, conclusions and recommendations for the future development and support of the WNHSS.

Evaluation of the Health Challenge Wales Health Promotion Voluntary Sector Grants Scheme

The Health Improvement Division of the Welsh Assembly Government commissioned this evaluation of its Health Challenge Wales / Health Promotion Voluntary Sector Grant Scheme in 2004. The grant scheme aims to develop the capacity of the voluntary sector to work with the Welsh Assembly Government in implementing its health promotion policy. The stated purpose of the evaluation was to inform a future funding strategy for the voluntary sector working in health and social care across Wales. All funded projects had the potential to contribute to the Health Challenge Wales agenda through its key themes although some had more specific links with these than others. The scheme illustrated how short-term funded project work can be effective in developing an organisation’s agenda, developing new evidenced based learning and creating new partnerships. Most organisations identified that the project work had added a health and/or well being ‘layer’ to their work.
