Our mission is to improve the nutritional, physical and mental health and wellbeing of the community, in particular the people of Stockton and Thornaby. Our objectives are to address the health inequalities in the borough by running community shops, lunch clubs, cooking workshops, community gardens and family pop up events. We work with children, adults, vulnerable and BAME communities, continuously working towards upskilling these communities through our community cooking workshops and Level 2 Food Hygiene training. We reduce food waste by collecting surplus food from local supermarkets to provide for free in our non-judgemental 'no referral needed' community shops

About the network

Health communication is a varied area of study that aims to promote behaviours, policies, and practices that advance the health and wellbeing of individuals and society.

The purpose of the Health and risk communication for public health network is to provide a forum for sharing experiences on developing, implementing, and evaluating public health communication campaigns and interventions.

The network will gather expertise to develop guidance for policymakers, commissioners, and researchers about health communication interventions.

Aims and objectives of the network

The aims of the network are to:

* Raise awareness about the use of health communication research methods to develop, implement and evaluate public health campaigns.
* Build capacity and expertise in the discipline within the School.
* Provide a forum to discuss the integration of strategic health communication planning into existing interventions within the School's programmes to maximise inclusivity of under-served groups and communities (aligning with NIHR-Include guidance).
* Provide an expert forum to discuss ways to improve reporting and evaluation of the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of health communication interventions and evaluate the impact of misinformation.
* Create opportunities for external research funding, including or focusing on health communication applications.

How to join the network

SPHR members and others are welcome to join the network. The group aims to meet at least every month online and once annually in person at the SPHR's Annual Scientific Meeting. If you would like to join the network, please complete the form (if any queries, contact the network convenor Dr Marco Bardus m.bardus@bham.ac.uk).
