New childhood obesity learning network launches

Central to our urban health programmes is the principle of sharing our findings. If we, or the partners we fund, do not have access to shared insights, we limit our ability to make progress.

To formalise sharing between our partners, we’ve launched the Childhood Obesity Programme Network. The network will give a platform for learning, sharing and relationship building between funded partners.

Learning from our partners

We have been engaging with our partners to understand how we can best support them to share insights. We heard a lot of enthusiasm for a network-based approach so we’ve been working with partner representatives to co-design this.

As a result of findings from this co-design process, we are testing new ways to share and learn from each other, as well as the wider community.

Kaleidoscope Health and Care are a social enterprise with expertise in developing effective collaborations. They have supported the development of the network since its beginning.
