#BeeWell has already heard the voices of almost 9000 young people in Greater Manchester
Nearly 9000 young people across all ten boroughs in Greater Manchester have already completed the #BeeWell Survey, with many more schools scheduled to be completing it over the next month.
#BeeWell will create a rich evidence base that leads to a better understanding of the domains and drivers of young people’s wellbeing. Participating schools will receive aggregated feedback in early 2022 and the Child Outcomes Research Consortium will provide expert support for schools to act on this evidence. #BeeWell will also publish neighbourhood data to enable a genuinely place-based approach to young people’s wellbeing in which arts and cultural organisations, youth clubs, sports clubs, charities, and other local stakeholders can work together to address local needs.
If you are not yet a member of the #BeeWell Coalition, but would like to be, please contact beewell@manchester.ac.uk to set up a Zoom meeting with a member of the #BeeWell team to find out more.
