Our Community Projects

Building Healthier Communities Together

At HENRY, we know that creating lasting change starts at the heart of our communities. Our community projects bring together families, practitioners, and local partners to address the unique needs of each area we work in. From tailored programmes to innovative local initiatives, we aim to ensure every family has access to the support they need for a healthy and happy start.

 

Healthy Families Programmes

HENRY’s flagship Healthy Families programmes support families across the UK, offering practical tools to make healthier choices and build stronger family bonds. In some areas, our highly trained staff directly deliver programmes and workshops tailored to the needs of local families. Elsewhere, we partner with local organisations, equipping practitioners with the skills to deliver our evidence-based approach to their communities.

Here are some of the areas where HENRY directly delivers services:

Why Community Projects Matter

Our projects don’t just benefit families - they strengthen entire communities by:

  • Creating local networks of support for parents and carers.
  • Training practitioners to provide culturally sensitive, impactful guidance.
  • Reducing health inequalities by reaching the most vulnerable families.

"HENRY has transformed our community. It’s not just about health - it’s about connection and hope." – Community Leader, Blackpool
