Well London Stratford Village held their Well London Launch and Participatory Budgeting Event on Saturday 15th February 2014 at Old Town Hall Stratford, E15. The event was held to celebrate the start of Well London and also for the community to decide which projects would be delivered in their community from April 2014 to March 2015.

Twenty five local residents and groups promoted their ideas by using pictures, role play, humour, testimonials to an audience of almost 100 people. Local residents and patients from the Stratford Village surgery selected thirteen projects and there will be something for everyone.

The projects cover a range of exciting topics:

• self-care accredited training
• growing herbal medicines
• mentoring for young people 
• social club for older people
• flash dance performance on the banks of the River Thames
• exercise sessions
• family healthy eating enterprises
• mental health support
