Community Partner Involvement in the IWS

The delivery and success of the IWS for young people using the service requires community collaboration and depends on support from community partners. We’re continuing to reach out to all services in Calderdale who want to be involved.

• Would you like to learn more about the IWS, what it offers and how you can support your service users to self-refer?
• Would you be interested in the IWS Team delivering 'Real Food' education and/or cooking session(s) to young people at your organisation?
• Have you supported young people to access the IWS and/or seen the impact of the IWS on outcomes for young people and would you be able to provide feedback to our IWS Research Coordinator to inform our stories and case studies?
