This evidence review looks at the evidence base for empowerment and health & wellbeing. It was commissioned as part of the evaluation of the Altogether Better programme, a five-year initiative funded through the BIG Lottery that aims to empower people across the Yorkshire and Humber region to lead healthier lives. The regional programme is made up of a learning network and 16 community and workplace projects, which are working to increase physical activity, improve healthy eating and promote better mental health & well-being. Altogether Better is based on a programme empowerment model. This model is based on three elements: building confidence, building capacity and system challenge.
