Befriending Treat Boxes
This project has been a good way to keep in touch with the community and be able to share health information.Benefits of Treat Boxes Health promotion – opportunistic interventions Wellbeing/craft bags, kits and packs Location Cheetham Hill and Crumpsall Project team Charlee Fitzgerald – Neighbourhood Health Worker Parveen Akhtar – Winning Hearts and Minds Chris Bernard – Winning Hearts and Minds Poppy Soldatos – Tesco Community Champion Chaiwalla – Café in Cheetham Hill Aim To connect with residents and remind them of the services and support that is available. To share information on staying well in winter and about the COVID-19 vaccine. Testimonial “Very nice.” “I liked my treat box, it’s lovely to receive a present.” “It’s Asian food, I like it.” “A free breakfast! Too expensive otherwise. Mask and socks in cold weather were useful.” Evaluation The project went well, it was nice for Charlee to get a chance to meet some residents (within COVID-19 safety conditions). Not all feedback forms were returned but people that responded enjoyed the breakfast and packs they received. One resident has asked if they can get involved with some volunteering once it is safe to do so. Some of the residents have been part of other buzz projects too, including the mini garden kits. One resident had lots of herbs in her garden kit and shared these herbs with Parveen to use in her cooking. It was nice for buzz to work closely with Winning Hearts and Minds, to show the residents that no matter what the organisation/position, we are all one community. Strategic Link
