When partnerships get recognised and shortlisted for a National Charity Award🙏

The Wellbeing Network is proud to have been shortlisted for two 2026 National Charity Today Awards™: the Community Impact Award and the Partnership of the Year Award! 👏 👏

Since the Wellbeing Network was founded in 2022, it has supported more than 15,000 people. This has included helping people at risk of su***de find new purpose, supporting people experiencing loneliness and isolation to rebuild social connections and become more involved in their communities, and aiding households to improve their finances through money-management and benefits advice. So far, more than 5,000 people have accessed additional benefits with the Wellbeing Network, worth approximately £6 million in total. The Network has also supported more than 200 people to return to employment, generating over £2.4 million in additional income.

As well as making a significant financial impact, the Network’s support is equally making a substantial difference to wellbeing and resilience. 98% of participants report feeling better able to handle challenges after receiving help from the Wellbeing Network. This impact is particularly significant because more than half of the people supported live in neighbourhoods within the most deprived 20% of the Index of Multiple Deprivation, facing multiple complex challenges.

We’re also extremely proud that the Wellbeing Network is funded by the West Yorkshire Health and Care Partnership (Integrated Care Board) to improve health outcomes across Bradford District and Craven by connecting people with timely, appropriate support in their communities. Critically, our evaluation data indicates that the Network has been diverting individuals from clinical services where community care is suitable. Over 24 months, we found that 3,574 people would have visited their GP or A&E for non-clinical issues without Wellbeing Network support.

Together, these results have helped us get shortlisted for the 2026 National Charity Today Awards – and we hope they demonstrate the importance of the Wellbeing Network’s impact for both our Health System and the local people we work with.

We’re looking forward to the Awards Ceremony in October and can’t wait to hear from our fellow entrants about the amazing work they’re doing too.

Join us tomorrow for a 1mile walk through Bradford's award-winning city centre regeneration scheme alongside so many people in recovery.

The city around us has been transformed, and in many ways recovery is its own form of regeneration; rebuilding confidence, restoring hope and creating new possibilities for the future.

We start at 12noon, but it's not all walking...There will be stilt walkers, a climbing wall, Reggae Man, face painting, singers and DJs celebrating recovery, hope and the power of community. 💜
