Firstly, we want to start by thanking our clients and partners for your ongoing support throughout the past challenging year.
OneLife Suffolk ended 2020 with the positive news of a two-year extension of our contract with Suffolk County Council which means we can continue to deliver healthy lifestyle services across Suffolk until March 2023.
Our response to Covid-19
Our services are more important than ever to our local communities in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic. They include Adult Weight Management, Stop Smoking, Families & Young People (weight management targeted to ages 5-18), Get Help To Get Active (targeted towards those with long-term conditions), Health Walks and NHS Health Checks.
At the onset of Covid-19, we adapted our face-to-face services to provide virtual delivery and have developed a suite of digital resources, including information sheets, podcasts and videos. During the pandemic, we have made over 100,000 wellbeing calls to those who are most in need of our services.
Continuing to create positive outcomes
OneLife Suffolk benefits from the research and insight provided by our parent company MoreLife and partner Leeds Beckett University which helps us ensure we get the best outcomes for our clients.
