Healthy Communities Together (HCT) was a programme delivered in partnership between The National Lottery Community Fund and The King’s Fund. HCT aimed to bring together the VCSE sector, the NHS, and local authorities to improve health and wellbeing in five sites across the UK.

Cordis Bright have been working with The National Lottery Community Fund, The King’s Fund and the five sites since January 2023 to evaluate this programme. We are very pleased to now share our final outputs from the evaluation. These are:

1. A final evaluation report – this report presents findings from fieldwork running from January 2023 to January 2025, providing insights into the difference partnership working made for HCT partnerships, and the types of support and funding that are most useful to enable partnership working.
2. A pack of case studies – this document contains five case studies, one for each HCT partnership site. The case studies are informed by fieldwork which took place between September 2024 to January 2025. Each case study explores a specific aspect of partnership working, addressing a research question through tailored methods such as interviews and observations.

Please see both outputs on our project page.
