Public Health Outcomes of Cambridgeshire Time Credits
Thu 18 May 2017
University Centre
Recent research shows that earning Time Credits can have both direct and indirect health benefits for individuals. People gained a sense of purpose and felt that they were making a positive contribution which increased their life satisfaction and improved their mental health. They became more physically active and more socially connected. There is also evidence of increased confidence and development of skills and work experience to support moving into paid employment.
The event is an opportunity to learn more about the research findings and to discuss how community engagement can be developed as a strategy for health improvement.
Event starts at 12.30pm and will include lunch.
Cost: Free
